In Outlook Express 6 I have many Identities setup.

I have thousands of e-mails dating back years.

The space consumed by all these e-mails is over 2GB

Quite a lot of space.

I decided to delete a lot of unwanted e-mails and clutter to reduce the
amount of space consumed.

But to my my surprise instead of solving the issue it made the overall

Can anybody help me with this.

The more I delete the bigger Outlook Express 6 folders gets
