Hi, Perhaps Dean can clarify for me, but I was under the impression that freeing database space was only necessary if you were not downloading roughly the same amount of email regularly. For example, if you normally download, read and delete about ten messages a day then the space left after deleting would be taken up by the next download. Whereas if you then go on leave and come back to download 100 messages, read and delete them, then you are left with more memory space being unused until you download a large number again. I thought it was in these cases that freeing database space is the most relevant.
In terms of the purpose and most appropriate time for freeing the database space in the address list, then that is a separate issue. Ramona
