How do you know " my outlook express has no free space" If you are getting
an error message that says that, ignore it.

To save your mail within OE, create new folders and name them by year then
select the messages and rt clickmove to folder.
Do not store large numbers of messages in your main default folders, Inbox -
Sent Items - Drafts.

When you have moved your messages you need to compact the database to remove
the wasted space:
File Menuwork offline.
File MenuFoldercompact all folders.

DO NOT touch anything on the PC until the Compact has completed.
