   Maybe you had another option enabled that told it to delete     
   messages that were older by a certain number of days?   
      
   But I just used Compact on my email folder and everything went     
   well.  I did not see any extra switches or conditions to     
   configure.   
      
   Maybe you encountered a known bug in that version?

   I can imagine the diappointment.

   I am sure you were happy about that!
