Hi David, Jan, Terribly terribly sorry, I just noticed that the imaptest program used this 'DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA' to test with, which is 537 bytes. This explains at least why half the messages were so small. So conclusion is that. - either the hint is not correctly set to do the passive compression. - or the passive compression is not working when this hint is set.

What filesystem are they on?
