Smiles, you are aware of compacting your profile, aren't you?
When you delete an e-mail, it isn't really deleted, just a bit in its
header information is changed to indicate that it has been 'deleted',
but it really is still in your 'Inbox'. It is only when you Compact your
profile (File - > Empty Trash *AND* File -> Compact Folders) that these
e-mails are actually deleted. Until this time, your Inbox file is just
getting Bigger and Bigger and ....
But, SAFETY FIRST, as your profile is soooo big, create a copy of your
profile and store it in a safe place .... THEN .... File - > Empty Trash
*AND* File -> Compact Folders and see what you're left with.
If things stuff up, you have your second copy to resurrect. If things
work right, make a copy of the reduced profile and then delete the copy
of the original profile.
