Gary,
I've just experienced a bit of this with Outlook Express. In one day, it
happened on 1 message, so I cleaned up and then it happened on 2 more (never
had it happen to 2 messages at the same time, before this!), again I fixed
by moving. Anyway, at the end of the day, I started poking at the
Maintenance area and saw that my local mailbox had a fair amount of wasted
space, so I let OE do some simple cleanup (Maint/Cleanup Now/Compact). Well,
things seem to be OK for the last few days (it did appear to be happening
more and more often, but still a fairly rare occurrence, at least up until
the few days before the cleanup).
Don't know if it really was a help, but so far, I think it has helped. OE
seems happier than it has in some time.
I do have the 'Compact in background' enabled, but to tell you the truth, I
don't think it does what I thought it did, or it just does not work. I think
this is a maintenance task all users should be doing (or at least checking!)
on a regular basis. Hmmm... I just looked back at this and see that the
setting is for above 20% (I'm assuming that is the default as I don't recall
changing it!). Just set to 5% to see what results it has.
Some data collection about the reported 'wasted space' and experimenting
with those who report the problem, might lead to a faster answer. Maybe try
reducing the Wasted Space setting, too.
For the mailbox that had the problem, I currently show 240k (1%) and prior
to cleanup was more like 2.5 meg (19 or 20%).

seems to be to go into OPTIONS/MAINTENANCE and RESET or DELETE the locally
saved copies of the messages. Is there a cure for this affliction? Please
