I've just spent HOURS going through all my old e-mails and deleting most of
them (yes, I KNOW I should do it every week...) – then emptied the Deleted
Items folder, and compacted it.

However, when I check deleted items.dbx in Windows Explorer, it’s still
94MB, even though it’s empty... how do I get it down to 0MB please! Can I
delete it, and OE6 will recreate it...?

Thanks
Roger
