When you delete or move a message from a folder, it's not deleted, but only marked for deleting. The real deleting is done when you're compressing the folder. When you're in the habit of deleting lots of messages from lots of folders it's very sensible to have the option selected. When the only folder you're deleting/moving messages from is the Inbox (doesn't matter whether it's done automatically or by filter) it's sufficient to check the 'compress on exit' in the folder properties of the inbox. But anyhow, since compressing makes the database smaller it makes it easier for TB to find messages in the messagebase. Since the way TB stores it's messages it's very easy for the disk where you store TB's messagebase to get fragmented. So it's also a good point to defrag the partition every now and then. (This is also the reason that I'm keeping my messagesbase on a dedicated partition.) -- Groetjes, Roelof ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60h FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
