Old Email Hogs Memory
Did you know that all of the emails that you delete from your Outlook Express email account are still taking up space on your computer's hard drive?? Sure you say, but they go away after I empty my "deleted items" right?? WRONG!! All of the email that you delete - even when you empty your "deleted items" - are still taking up space on your hard drive. You can't read them, or see them, but there is a blank space there where the email was located. In fact, it may be in 2 OR MORE PLACES!! If you deleted it from your "Inbox" there is still a blank space there. If you later empty your "deleted items" there is also a blank space there. So, it can actually be taking up space in more than one location. If the email had an attachment - such as a picture or video - it is taking up a lot of space. The only way to eliminate the blank spaces left from old emails is to use the "compact folder" option in Outlook Express regularly. Just click on "File" then "Folder" and then either "Compact" or "Compact All Folders". Windows will then rewrite the folder(s) leaving out all the blank spaces. Note that if you have a lot of emails still in your folders, the "Compact All Folders" option can take quite a bit of time. Compacting your email folders on a regular basis can save a lot of disk space and help your email client work faster. Curt
