You're welcome! But there is something else I should have mentioned--hope you
haven't unindexed your inbox yet--
on my kmail system, compaction was totally disabled "for safety reasons"--when
I removed the index, all of a sudden I got thousands of old emails that had
been "marked for deletion" (my words) (and no longer visible) but never
actually deleted.
The note below (from my offline TWiki-like thing) tells how to enable
compaction on your inbox. I now try to remember to do that several times a
day.

Quit kmail (including the systray icon if you use it), open
~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc,
look for lines containing "Compactable=false", remove those lines, restart
kmail.
The previous discussions on how to improve this issue didn't lead to a
solution yet, it seems.
