Compressing OUTLOOK EXPRESS Folders

Although OUTLOOK EXPRESS6 automatically compresses your mail folders when they reach 20 percent wasted space,you might want to compress periodically the folders manually. To do this, run OUTLOOK EXPRESS and choose Tools/Options. When the options dialog box opens, click the Maintenance tab.
Click Clean up Now. When the Local File Clean Up dialog box opens, click Compact. When the operation finishes, click Close. Back in Options, click Close to dismiss the dialog box.
