Thanks to Januk, Allie, and SyP. I just compressed all folders (never
did that before - I never knew that TB didn't really delete messages -
that seems like a bad thing to me. If I hit the delete button, it
should move it to the trash folder. It should *not* leave it hidden in
the folder it was originally in, that just doesn't make any sense at
all.

Anyway, thanks to those who responded. Hopefully now the problem has
been solved - if this doesn't fix it, I'll post another message.
