Now this is weird - last run an hour ago against a particular user had a 
bunch of entries - now I show none for that user (my spam cc user, which 
I deleted a quantity of mails out of to test this).  And another user 
that didn't have any (my own) now shows a few.

Haven't tried running a purge again yet.
