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.
