Default Finding the size of the Inbox

When I right click on my closed Inbox, I do not see the size--its been
mentioned we keep the folders et al to within 100 MB. How do we know?

thank you, all, and HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Great Scott, I had 14 Inbox items on my Search. Now what? My alt. Identity
was toasted a while back, remember? So, I only have one, right now.

In OE,
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 Start | Run | Ctrl+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.

Each XP user will have a separate OE Store Folder.

Default Finding the size of the Inbox

Ron, thank you--I'm the only one who has used this computer. Its only 12
months old, also. There were some Inbox strings that had only one subtitle,
I wonder if I had created a Folder under the Inbox, instead of the Local
Folders, so that is the reason.

They seem to be duplicates, also.
