Could you maybe manualy highlight and delete individual emails that are
older than a certain date? (say maybe, 3 months old) Thus making the size of
the folder smaller. Would it work if it was smaller?
This seems too obvious/simple. maybe I missed something along the way
Agape, J.
p.s. highlight the first one to delete, scroll down to the last one to
delete. while press/ holding alt and shift highlight the last one to delete.
(everything inbetween will be will highlight) hit delete
