Deleting Emails in Outlook Express

[JohnE]

Thanks Tyler - looking back now, I realise that I should have just deleted my 'Deleted Items.dbx' when it was 780Mb. Instead, I compacted it - which brought it down to a reasonable size (less than 200Kb) but it didn't release any disk space (in fact somehow, compacting the folder took up more of my disk space) and I've no idea at all where all those unwanted entries went.... In future, I'll just delete the file 'Deleted Items.dbx' like you suggested.
