      The same applies to Ritlab's The Bat! (up to version 1.60c i'm
      currently using).

      The Bat! stores all of the messages in
      $thebathome\mail\$accountname\$foldername\Messages.tbb and
      status information in Messages.tbi (without customization and
      message filtering all mail goes to $foldername named inbox).
      All messages remain there until Folder|Compress function is used.

      The question is - is that a feature or a bug?
      I'm using The Bat! for nearly three years now and it's there
      from where I can remember (although there were dozen or so version changes).
