Hi,

I am using 4.034.8 OTFE. I tried to upgrade to 4.0.38 with the msi
downloaded from Ritlabs, but I lost messages and folders seemed to get
irreparably corrupted.

So I reverted to my stable 4.0.34.8 and restored from backup. But when
I look in my MailPwd folder, I see some subfolders with a large number
of files, many of which are probably backups and of no use. The size
of my current backup file with all messages and settings is 290Mb, but
the size of my MailPwd folder is 1.75Gb.

My two questions are:

  o Is there a safe and sure way to upgrade to 4.0.38?

  o Is there some way to clean up my mail folders to reduce that huge
1.85Gb size to something closer to the 290Mb of my backup file?

For reference, a sample subfolder under MailPwd  contains the following files:
