Outlook Express 6 is holding messages in the Outbox and sending them repeatedly. &nbsp;When I notice it has been sent out a few times, I delete the message from Outbox. &nbsp;Went through the Inbox and Sent box and cleared out half of the messages but the size of those two files Inbox.dbx and Sent.dbx still show the files at almost 2gb and I know the size limitation for files in OE6 is 2gb. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
How do I get the size of those two files down? &nbsp;It did not seem to change when I deleted those files.<br />

Office Productivity refers both to the act of being productive and efficient in an office or professional environment, as well as the software applications used to "produce" information. This includes the development of professional skills, creating work processes, and almost any program used to create or modify a document, image, audio or video clip. However, business application suites such as Microsoft Office, which include word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs, are typically called productivity software, as contrasted with a "utility program," such as a file manager, which is used to organize files and folders on the computer. Many office- and business-oriented groups of programs are organized into suites.
