Big backup file after cleaning emails
 
Hi there,
when I made a preventive backup before cleaning (deleting) emails I did not need anymore, the file size was about 166mb for lets say 200 emails + attachments.
Up till here: no ploblems.
But then, after I cleared most of my mails I had about 20 left. All of them without attachments.
Now, when I made a backup with just those 20 emails, the filesize of the backup was still 156mb. How can this be possible?

Did you do a purge&compress after the messages had been deleted?

Highlight the folder
Menu: Folder
Item: purge & compress.
 
Hi Arnold,
this did the trick! Thanks for your fast reply.
I read some more in the Help-file and everything is clear now.
