is your account IMAP or POP?
POP....
right click your deleted folder and select properties. What size is it on disk? Same for the inbox please.
The trash folder is 786 KB and the trash msf folder is 4.98 KB. Thanks for your help.
and the inbox?
One detail I forgot to pass on - I have 2 different email addresses and the problem seems to exist in both. That sounds more like a program problem but if I were an expert, I wouldn't be asking the questions in the first place. Sorry.
OK then, tell us the sizes of both Inboxes and both Deleted files.
I suspect that Matt was asking to check if your files were approaching a critical size, but from the numbers so far this seems unlikely.
