I used to have some folders in kmail set up with expiry intervals,  and when 
I'd read through the new stuff in a folder I'd manually expire it.  I'd also 
compact them manually from time to time.

A while back I installed Slackware 11.0 on this laptop,  having taken down the 
LAN that I was using (with the messages on another machine) due to a move,  
and I still haven't brought things back up yet.

In using this newer setup,  I find that messages that I haven't read yet are 
being delete -- I'm still not exactly clear on what I've lose here.  I find 
that any folder that has an expire period set,  and that has the box checked,  
is being expired at some point whenever the software decides that this is 
what it's gonna do.

Having unchecked the checkboxes,  I'm still seeing the software going around 
and compacting folders on its own,  without me telling it to do so.  This is 
an older machine,  of limited resources,  and this sort of crap is using up 
machine resources that I can't afford.

Is there some way I can get kmail to stop doing this?

If not,  I'm going to have to abandon the program and switch to something 
else.  :-(
