I wonder why my inbox folder gets bigger and bigger with each new message I
received although I delet (or move) all eMails from the inbox to other folders.
Shouldn´t decrease the folder size to 0 when I have deleted all messages?
Over the last years my (emptied) inbox increased to several hundreds of MBytes.

Reproducible: Always
use the "compact folders" option
