To compact a folder

• On the Mail menu, point to Compact Folders, and then choose the folder you want to compact.

Note

• Mail messages are stored in a database (located in your user folder within the IMN User(s) folder) that grows in size as you add, edit, and delete messages. Compacting a folder will delete any unneeded space and information in the database and make it smaller in size.
