Using 2.26.1, Vista, and seemed that Mail is acting really slow. Then found 
that several mail folders contain HUGE files for empty folders.

The Drafts folder has a size of 1.2GB and it contains no drafts (empty) while 
the Junk folder is shown as 195MB and is empty as well.

I have hit the Repair Folder button several times for each folder, with no 
change. Then I deleted their respective .msf files, and no change as well.

Inbox folder contains messages but file space reserved seems high as well.

Then I considered whether I had corrupt disc file space and used CheckDisc to 
scan entire C drive. Checkdisc did not find any disc corruption.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Delete the Drafts and Junk Folders manually and 
reinstall Seamonkey?

Thanks

David, did you try File->Empty Trash and then File->Compact Folders?

When SM deletes a file (or copys to another folder, I think), the file is not actually removed from the Inbox, it is marked for deletion and made invisible. When you Empty Trash *and then* Compact Folders, it is actually deleted, releasing all saved space back to your system.

I'm guessing the same would apply to your Draft folder as well.
