Remove Wasted Space
A simple way to protect your e-mail folders from being damaged — and to make Outlook Express perform better — is to compact your messages, which will remove any wasted space. Here’s how:
1. Open Outlook Express.
2. Click the Tools drop-down menu.
3. Select Options.
4. A window opens. Click the Maintenance tab.
5. Click the Clean Up Now button located on the right side of the window.
6. A new window opens. Look for Wasted Space. Next to this, you will see the amount of wasted space in your e-mail folders. If this amount is greater than five percent, click the Compact button.
7. Outlook Express begins to compact your e-mail, which will remove the wasted space.
Warning
It is critical that you leave your computer alone during this time. Failure to do so could cause your e-mail to become corrupted and inaccessible.
8. When the compacting is complete, click the Close button.
9. Click the OK button.
