Ok. I tried deleating the folders.dbx file and tried compacting again but
with the same results. This is with a new identity I made about a week ago.
I really don't want to compact all 101 or so folders by hand every time. I
tried removing the inbox, outbox, sent and drafts dbx files to see if they
were the culpret but no joy.
