It's hard to say what caused my problem, since I did BOTH operations
which greatly complicated making an accurate evaluation of the
results.
After a number of outstanding Batnicks discussed ways to move
account folders some time ago (using Commander, Explorer and other
ways), I assumed that this was indeed what had to be done, even
though I HAD used the other method previously (one forgets).
So first I copied the messages to the new location, then let TB know
where I wanted the account to rest by changing the default in the
accounts priorities and found that I would up with duplicate data.
Since this was contrary to my purpose (saving disk space), I tried
corrective matters but found it difficult to determine which
versions were best. Some of the folders seem to be back to normal,
while others aren't yet. I do believe that filters WERE lost,
however.
None of this would have happened had I "compressed all folders"
first.
