OK. I tried this, and here's what happened:
1. I quit Outlook Express. Then I relaunched it using the "Mail"
button on
Internet Explorer's menu bar (IE 5.1.7), while holding down the
"Option"
key. A dialog box appeared above the Outlook Express splash screen,
which
asked,
"Would you like to compact the database?" Options available were NO
and yes.
I took the safe road and clicked NO.
2. The dialog box disappeared momentarily, and was replaced by
another which
read,
"Would you like to do a complete rebuild of the database?" Options
available
were again NO and yes. I again took the safer road and clicked NO.
3. Outlook Express seems to have then opened normally. I didn't see
any
option for "normal rebuild".
What do you suggest I (and anyone else who'd like to free up some
significant space) should do from here?
Thanks, again!

MY BAD!
I forgot the terminology. Its been a while since I used OE.
Click yes to compacting the database. When you quit OE you'll find
the Old Database files to delete in the main identity folder.
