I'm basically trying to clean out the hard-drive of a public pc and the inbox and sent databases are pushing 100meg each.

Are they created automatically if I delete them, or is there antoher way of doing it..? Say by creating a new identity and copying all the freshly created files from there?

Any help would be greatly apreciated. :)

Cheers
John

But what's wrong with 'Edit &gt; select all &gt; remove'?.

But if you wish, you can, after shutting down OE, delete Inbox.dbx and Sent items.dbx.

OE will recreate those two folders when you fire it up next time.
