The smallest possible .dbx file appears to be 59KB. It sounds as if the
compact didn't work or the Deleted Items folder is corrupt. Deleting it
(make sure OE is closed first) should fix the problem.

I've just spent HOURS going through all my old e-mails and deleting most of

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
