  • Whilst your page that you link to seems useful, this really is a link only answer and it would be much better to post both the script and the relevant contents of the page in your answer. Please edit and update your answer. Commented Mar 30, 2022 at 22:43
  • While this link may answer the question, it is better to include the essential parts of the answer here and provide the link for reference. Link-only answers can become invalid if the linked page changes. - From Review Commented Mar 30, 2022 at 22:43
  • Thanks, I wasn't aware that this was frowned upon. Is the situation any different given that the question was explicitly asking for a solution, such as the one I linked to, as opposed to asking for information or details about how it operates? In other words, what kind of "essential parts of the answer" should I include here, since they weren't asking for technical details on how to free space in IMAP folders? Or is it just standard protocol to include some details about what the link is, how it operates, etc? Commented Mar 31, 2022 at 1:56
  • This seems fine to me — it doesn’t make sense to include the script in the answer, and there’s some explanation of what it does. Commented Mar 31, 2022 at 4:11
