Xpunge is a Thunderbird extension that cleans up multiple accounts by emptying their Trash folder and compacting folders, resulting in improved performance and disk space optimization.
It's worth noting that these buttons are not visible by default. You'll have to manually add them to the toolbar by following some basic instructions. Once you've done this, you're ready to go.
The "Xpunge" button works on a single account, while "MultiXpunge" works on multiple accounts. "Xpunge" compacts all the folders of an account, essentially functioning as the "File -> Compact Folders" menu item. On the other hand, "MultiXpunge" can be configured to compact individual folders as well as whole accounts.
To use "Xpunge," you first have to select any folder in an account and then use the button to empty the trash folder and compact all the folders of that account. However, with "MultiXpunge," you don't have to select any folders before using it. You can use it from any place in the Thunderbird window.
The extension requires Thunderbird 1.0 - 1.5.0.* versions. The latest release includes the correct address for the Xpunge homepage. Developers have a ToDo list with many new features, but they were not able to implement them in this release.
Overall, Xpunge is an excellent software extension that is easy to use and helps users manage their Thunderbird accounts efficiently. It's an essential tool for anyone using Thunderbird.
