Are there any unread messages in the folder that's to be purged?
You're  mentioning 3000 messages in your message base, do you mean the
complete message base or only that of the folder that you've limited?

What's your setting for:
 Account -> Properties -> Options -> Compact all folders on exit
 Account  -> Properties -> Mail management -> Deletion -> Purge unread messages

How do you exit TB?
