Compact All Folders - in Outlook Express Email

When you " delete " email in Outlook Express, they aren't really deleted! If

you ever upgraded one version of Outlook Express to a newer version you

probably experienced that: after upgrading you noticed a lot of old email

you

thought you had deleted had " returned " .

Outlook Express just removes the " pointers " to the actual email from the

index when you delete, but to actually remove the email from your hard

drive,

you need to run the Compact Folder function.

You can access this function easily from the Outlook Express menu: File >

Folder. Click on File > then click on Folder. Now you can choose to either

Compact, or Compact All Folders. The difference is that by choosing Compact,

this will only compact the folder without actually removing old email from

the hard

drive, while choosing " Compact All Folders " will remove them all from the

hard

drive.

Thanks much for the tip on this. When I delete something, I want it

deleted and gone forever - particularly all that obnoxious spam that

keeps showing up in spite of having filters.

I ran a virus scan the other night and was absolutely shocked to see

how many files it went through. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of

telling my wife about it. I said something like " Boy, do you have a

lot of photo editing files on the computer. " I immediately dropped

the subject when she looked at me over the top of her glasses and

said " And your point is? "

> Mike, on the subject of cleaning up hard files you can download

some software that safely eradicates uneeded files such as temp file

and cookies from your system too. I can send you the link for the

download pages for WebClean if you would like?

-----------------

Please - I would appreciate it.

I used to be able to retaliate on junk mail by sticking all of their

garbage back into their postage prepaid envelopes and mailing it

back to them ... along with just enough extra paper to push them

over the line on their bulk mail permits.

I haven't figured out how to do that with cyberspam.

Hi Mike,

No worries, here is the link to a free download for Gendisk which

lets you choose which temp files you wnat to delete:

You can also find some more system cleaners, some free, some trial

some charged at the following link too:

http://download.com.com/3120-20-0.html?qt=system+cleaner & tg=dl-20

Or if you'd prefer I can send you a WinZip file containing WebClean

to your email - may take some time to go through though.

Hope these help out.......Jo

P.S. I too would like to figure out how to get rid of spam emails

too, I'm currently being plagued with versions asking if I'd like to

enhance my manhood!
