Once the Inbox is completely empty, you can close OE then locate inbox.dbx
in the store folder and delete it. It will be recreated when you bring OE
back up.

Hello,

I have a problem where a client is using Outlook Express and her
inbox.dbx is growing up to 1gb now. She has already experienced the
problems where outlook compacts the inbox.dbx so it doesn't go over
1gb. E-mail have been recovered and everything is fine.

I have created two subfolders 2005 & 2006. I have removed all of her
2005 mail from inbox.dbx and placed it into 2005.dbx and same for 2006
mail. This has reduced the the inbox by 3000 mails. However when I
go into her Outlook Express path for her identity the inbox.dbx is
still sized to 950mb.

Why hasn't the inbox.dbx changed or resized to appropriate size?

2005.dbx is now 250mb
2006.dbx is now 340mb

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you,
Darmin
