User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1 Build Identifier: version 0.8 (20041010) I have noticed that the messages which had been saved in Draft folder before is still remain in the Draft file (for example: Draft in Mail/Local Folders), with a text editor, I can see all the messages which was saved as Draft message. When I have tried to create draft message and moved the message from Draft folder, I still can found the raw message in Draft file with a text editor. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a message and save as draft. 2.Use any text editor (eg: Notepad) to open the draft file under *TB_Profile*/Mail/*Mail_Folder*. 3.Edit the draft message. 4.Repeat step 2. Actual Results: In GUI, Draft Folder is only showing the latest edited message. When open the Draft file in text editor, I can see all the messages was saved in the Draft file, including before and newly edited messages. The size of the Draft file was increased. Expected Results: In GUI, Draft Folder is only showing the latest edited message. In Draft file, it should only contains the latest saved messages but not the messages which had been moved away from the Draft folder or messages which had been edited. Old messages should be purged if it is not in the Draft folder any more.
You can see there is still lots of contents at the top of the file. But there is only 1 message is being saved in draft folder and show in GUI.
you need to compact the folder to get the draft removed from the actual disk storage file. That's true of all local messages that get deleted. It's because we use the berkeley mailbox format.
