It just refills again to the same size. So the best policy is to delete spam on the same sort of schedule you like doing.

When ready, delete spam again. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X.
