Local folders in OE
Hi,
How do I know the size of my local folders in OE? Someone here said that they should be kept under 100 Mb. I just don't know how to find out. Thank you. SH |

You have to look at the dbx files for the size.
Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then StartRunCtrl+V will put the location in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise, write the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer. In Windows XP, 2K & 3K, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options | View. -- Bruce Hagen MS MVP - Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Wendy Hill" wrote in message ...

Hi SH,
One way to find the size is go to where folder is stored, right click, choose properties. Ken "Wendy Hill" wrote in message ... | Hi, | How do I know the size of my local folders in OE?
