You  maintain a questionable practice if any of the 
default folders are used for long time storage of large 
amounts of emails (Inbox/Outbox/Sent Items/Deleted 
Items/Draft). OE is known for emails disappearing 
particularly from the Inbox. Custom folders should be 
used. 

Manual maintenance should be done on a regular basis. 
Only when you are  OFFLINE, open OE.  Or if you click 
File and choose Work offline. 

Click File->Folder.  Then choose Compact All Folders. 
This will optimize the DBX files. Optimizing takes out all 
the wasted space. 

Do not check Compact messages in the background.  
This can lead to lost emails.  
(Tools->Options.  Maintenance Tab)

There are 2 programs mentioned at the site JmC 
posted. 1 reasonable and 1 free.

I have located a very nice 3rd program, post back if 
you would like the download link.
