Or go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Clean Up Now and choose the

It would be a good idea to compact your folders when you're done.
Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything
until the compacting is completed.
My personal preference is to disregard synchronizing and rather have OE
check for news when it checks for mail. Tools | Accounts | News. Check:
" Include this account...........".

Done that. Thanks Bruce. Some new as-yet-unseen posts
have arrived so it looks like it worked.
You're welcome.
