Expunge doesn't mean compress. It means "permanently eliminate messages
marked for deletion". *If* the folder in question is mbox format, then
it will compress said folder in order to remove the deleted messages. If
the folder is some other format it will do something else. Note that the
Evo user interface doesn't mention compression explicitly.

So in the case you mention then yes, it should do what you want.
