Managing Mail

Mail spools can grow quite large if not managed and may count significantly against your disk quota. Should you desire to delete a message, highlight the message and then click on the ``Delete'' icon in the toolbar. Note that this does not actually remove messages from your mail spool, it merely marks the messages as ``to be deleted.'' To delete messages, either right-click on a folder and select ``Compact this Folder'' or select ``Compact Folders'' from the file menu. Please note that this completely removes messages from a mail spool. Unless they were available when backups were made, they are lost forever.
