My "Inbox.msf" file is about 3KB but my "Inbox" file is over 1 GB.
I keep NO messages in the inbox; whatever comes in gets filtered to
other folders.
What's in the 1GB file?
I have a similar situation with the "Drafts" file -- over 1 GB, but
there's nothing in it....
Hi Bill,
Right click on the folder and select, "Compact". When message come in
and are removed, unless you configure an auto-compact, the old
messages still remain in the folder. They're just "marked" as deleted
until you compact.
I prefer doing it manually rather than having the program do it.
Me too.
Don't forget to mention that "cleaning" a 1GB will take a "certain" time
Actually a likely long UNCERTAIN amount of time. Depends on just how many
deleted emails are in it and the speed of your computer and disk drive.
Give it a few minutes. Or more.
David
