Hi

The deleted items folder is not emptying on shutting down with the
maintenance option selected. I have tried deleting the dbx file, but this
makes no difference.

Did you delete the Deleted Items.dbx with OE closed? Have you compacted
recently? Are any of your folders bloated?

A general warning:

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become
corrupted. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move
your mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user created
folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible.

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while
working *offline* and do it often.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no
folders are open. Then: FileWork Offline (or double click Working Online in
the Status Bar). FileFolderCompact all folders. Don't touch anything until
the compacting is completed.

And backup often.

Hi

I've cleared out the Inbox, Sent Items and Deleted Items and compacted them
(oofline). New items deleted do still not get removed from Deleted Items
after restarting OE. Any other ideas?

Thanks for your help.

Create a new Identity.
If it works, import your messages from the old Identity.
