Compact database won're remove deleted

[adegutis]

I executed the Compact Database option. When I look at one of the groups in the database and change the view option to show deleted messages, I see all of them still there. Am I doing something wrong or out of order?

v 2.5.21

Thanks

Hi Al,

When PGO deletes a message it doesn't actually delete it... well it does but it leaves behind a tiny stub, just a flag to say its been deleted. The reason for this is to differentiate between user deleted messages & owner/mod deleted messages. This is important because the 'Find Missing Messages' feature will try to re-load any truly missing messages i.e. those that do not exist in Yahoo.

Cheers,

Wilson.

That makes sense.
