69386 - (Many) messages are not being deleted from files

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 64751

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[gekacheka]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; 0.8) Gecko/20010219
BuildID:    

Noticed that although deleted messages are no longer visible in
Mozilla, many are not deleted from the files for inbox, sent, etc,
even after Trash has been emptied.  Noticed when doing backups that
although Sent folder was empty in Mozilla view, on disk it was still
1.1MB; inbox was 600k in Mozilla view (adding up headers
"size" column), it as 5MB on disk. etc.  



Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
0. Send self test message
1. get messages
2. view message
3. delete message
4. empty trash (File | Empty Trash)
5. exit mozilla
6. view inbox file in a text editor


Ditto for messages deleted from Sent folder, or other folders.

Actual Results:  Deleted and expunged messages are still in file.

Expected Results:  Deleted and expunged messages should no longer be in file.

empty local trash no longer does a compact all folders, like it did in 4.x. So
you'd need compact the individual folders in question. Navin just implemented
compact all folders, I believe, so this could be a dup of that.
