   You could but it makes most sense to me anyway to run them both together maybe   
   once a week or so.   
      
   Purging will enforce the message limits on your bases (max messages and max   
   message age) by marking them deleted.  It will also go through and remove any   
   private messages that are in the data files for users that no longer exist.   
      
   Its not as intensive as rebuilding the message bases, but its still a good   
   amount of work being done since its scanning through a lot of data.   
      
   Packing will then physically rebuild your message bases without all of the   
   data that purge marked to be deleted.  It keeps the bases slim and the message   
   numbers in order, etc.  It can sometimes fix errors as well.   
      
   ... They say there's always one weirdo on the bus, but I couldn't find them!
