Hello Bill,

where I live) witnesses say Bill Fuller typed:

The first thing to try is "Folder -> Purge all Folders"
In your folder options, you might have selected "Keep messages in base
for xx days" and "Maximum number of stored messages." If you did,
Purge executes these conditions and then compresses your folders. If
you did not select these, then Purge only compresses your folders.
When a message is deleted, it doesn't disappear from the message
database. It is simply marked for deletion and you must run a
compress operation to actually remove the message.
If this option alleviates the problem, then I recommend you change the
folder properties for *all* your folders to "Compress the folder on
Exit". Don't forget to change your Inbox, Outbox and Trash.
If this doesn't help your problem, please let us know, and perhaps
give us information such as your processor speed, HD space available,
RAM, Operating system, other programs running, etc.
