Sometimes KMail refuses to compact a folder (because it's overly 
cautious). In this case you'll have to do the following:
- Move all messages to another (temporary) folder.
- Select "Move All Message to Trash" in the empty folder.
- Move the messages back to the original folder.

BTW, I don't think that the folders are in maildir format because with 
maildir all messages are in a file of their own and therefore 
compaction is not necessary. Compaction is only necessary with mbox 
because with mbox deleted messages are not immediately removed from the 
mbox file. But with maildir deleted messages are immediately removed.

In the future please send questions regarding the usage of one of KDE's 
PIM applications to kdepim-users@kde.org.

Regards,
Ingo
