Mozilla Mailnews FAQ

What is Compacting folders, and why should I do it?

When you delete a message, it doesn't really get deleted from the folder. It gets marked as deleted. Mozilla sees that marking, and knows not to display it. Compacting a folder will command Mozilla to remove all messages marked as deleted, from that folder.
