In that case someone needs to check the Spanish translation. Assuming
the keyboard shortcuts haven't changed, Ctrl-E is Expunge and Expunge
does *not* mean "compact folders". It means "permanently remove messages
marked for deletion". In some IMAP implementations (e.g. the U of
Washington version) where a folder is a file, expunging is actually done
by compacting, and the same is true of local mbox-format folders, but
these are implementation details which shouldn't appear in a MUA user
interface. File-per-message implementations such as Cyrus don't ever do
compacting in this sense.

A possible Spanish translation of Expunge would be "purgar" (or
"expurgar").

Anyway, going back to your original message, you mentioned:

        ... I'm having a lot of error while saving folder ...
        
What kind of errors? Are they anything like this?:
