Out of Memory when trying to Compress Junk Folder, Encrypted version, runs out of memory when trying to compress junk

I'm running TheBat 4.0.38 on Windows XP, ServicePack 3, 1.5GB RAM.

It seems that my junk folder is corrupted. It always displays 129+X messages in the folder list, where X is the number of actual messages. If it's empty it states there are 129 messages in it.

I tried to compress the folder, but will get an error message 'Out of Memory', with my task manager showing an excessive use of CPU (60%+) and RAMs (600MB).

This makes me suspect that the junk folder is probably quite large ... giving me even more reason to get rid of the data stored there.

I'd now like to manually delete the junk mail folder via Windows Explorer. However, since TheBat is set to store data encrypted, it doesn't actually show the folder names.

How do I go about fixing my junk mail folder? Whether it's a workaround (deleting the folder manually somehow) or a fix to the compression issue - either would work for me.

that's why I don't use encrypted (by theBat)message bases.
Click Folder / Maintanence center
Check only Trash and sel ect all the options at the bottom. BTW before starting you may disable your virus scanner and enable it back afterwards.

I guess Trash folder can't be deleted fr om theBat, but try that as well.

I tried folder maintenance with the same result - 'out of memory' without making any progress at all.

To provide some further details: There are roughly 200,000 deleted messages in this folder.

Browsed the folders in Windows Explorer. Turns out that in the main level the folders are named for the account names. With the exception of the Trash and the Junk folder. Went ahead and deleted the files in the two encrypted folders and solved the problem this way.
