Default Mail Backup

OE 6 Deleted Files folder is completely empty, and yet in the stored folder
it says size is 99,000kb, causing my mail backup folder to be too big for a
zip disk. How can I change this? Thanks, Shelly

You can sort this out in a couple of different ways. Either go to FileWork
Offline, then FileFolderCompact all folders and leave it till it's done.

Or...if you know where your store directory is, close OE, navigate to the
store directory and delete the Deleted Items Folder. OE will make a new,
empty one when you next use it.

Merry Christmas, girlfriend! Miss you. (I was hoping /not/ to see a UK IP
in your headers but...)
