If you only get junk mails (all filtered into junk mail folder) the inbox size
still grows, because mails are first saved there and then moved.
Wouldn't it be better and more powerful to filter the junk mails before saving
them into the file, right in the main memory before?
On accounts with 90% junk, that really matters...

This bug is a feature request, not a compact-after-deletion/move (what would be
really bad and even less effective...)
Why you do something like that:

Get Mail - Save Mail - Read Mail - put it through a Filter - Leave it or move it

and not:

Get Mail - Filters - Save it where it has to be

The thing that makes it a duplicate for you is only a side effect of this, not
