There are no hard and fast rules for this. Unless you are having problems, such as Eudora running very slow, or are in desperate need of more disk space, I would suggest compressing mailbox would be your first step towards increasing disk space.Eudora stores your messages in text files. There is one file for every mailbox.
When you delete a message or move it to a different mailbox, the message itself is not immediately erased from the text file but only marked as deleted. This speeds up moving or deleting messages a lot. In this article we have tried to simple understanding for compressing mailbox.
When Eudora compacts a mailbox (either automatically or initiated by you)
- Select "Special" from menu
- then "Compact Mailboxes" from the drop down options,
the messages marked as deleted are actually erased from the text file and the disk space such wasted is reclaimed. These steps can be followed in Eudora installed in Windows XP and Windows 7.
