No, as Karin put it, purge and compress are two different things.
It's just in TB you can't do Purging without compression. The "Purge
all folders" command under the Folder menu does do compression,
which should be renamed to "Purge AND COMPRESS all folders". The one
for a single folder ("Purge and Compress") is clear.
The Compress and Compress All Folders commands, OTOH, don't purge.
