265569 - Would like a "Compact This folder" option for IMAP folders, preferably with a keyboard shortcut

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 236851

The File|Compact Folders command compacts all of the folders on an IMAP mail
account. On my account with at least four or five dozen subfolders under the
Inbox, this is (a) slow and (b) a colossal waste of bandwidth as I normally only
need to compact one folder at a time. I'd like to see a File|Compact This Folder
command that only compacts the folder you're currently reading, and would prefer
to have a keyboard accelerator attached to that menu command.

May be a dupe of bug 236851 -- waiting for response from that bug's reporter.

Isn't this available on the 'right click' menu of the folder?

Yes. Some people (like myself) prefer to use the keyboard when we're inside a 
certain program and doing everything else in that program using the keyboard, 
though. See bug 236851 for other comments. I've stopped adding comments to 
this bug and started replying to 236851 instead.
