With one click of the Xpunge tool bar button I empty the trash and compact all folders in one shot. I know you meant Thunderbird 3 not Firefox3 ;D Purge will compact folders but Xpunge has more options and will also empty the trash.

I've been fed up of Tbird compacting whenever it felt like it for ages! I'm sure I've suffered from corruption in the past when it's just done its own thing without telling me. Suddenly I'm at the top of the emails instead of the bottom. This is the most annoying thing in Thunderbird and it needs a BUTTON! Thanks hugely for this tip, Tina. Finally!

I had the impression Purge would also compact folders. Unfortunately, neither Purge, nor Xpunge appear to be available for Firefox 3. Anomaly,

Expunge compacts all the folders for you. Purge is for junk mail. Sorry for the confusion. I meant to say the Xpunge extension. Expunge compacts all the folders for you. Purge is for junk mail.
