279722 - PC version, IMAP: "Purge" also compacts. Mac version, IMAP: "Purge" does not compact

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Robert Eidschun]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

With the PC version of Thunderbird, using IMAP, "Purge" not only issues the IMAP
"Purge Deleted" command, but also compacts the message database on the local
client machine, which ties up the latter.  "Purge" should do nothing more than
issue the IMAP "Purge Deleted" command.

With the Mac version of Thunderbird, using IMAP, "Purge" simply issues the IMAP
"Purge Deleted" command and does nothing more, as it should do.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on folder to be purged
2. Click "Purge" button on tool bar
3.

Actual Results:  
PC version, using IMAP: IMAP "Purge" command is issued, and folder *is*
compacted on local client machine.  (Incorrect behavior.)

Mac version, using IMAP: IMAP "Purge" command is issued, and folder *is not*
compacted on local client machine.  (Correct behavior.)

Expected Results:  
PC version, using IMAP: IMAP "Purge" command is issued, and folder *is not*
compacted on local client machine.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
