Compact Database System Requirements Links: MailSteward Support SQLite | Compact Database: As email is archived and then deleted, empty records are created in the database. This doesn't hurt anything, but it does make the database file larger than it needs to be. The empty space can be reclaimed by selecting Compact Database from the File menu. This will remove all of the empty records and compact the database. The compacting is done in place, so it is a good idea to always make a backup copy of the database file before compacting the database. Another way to compact the database is to do a browse, listing all of the email in the database, and then click on the Export button and choose MailSteward database file... from the dropdown menu. This will create a new database file with all of the empty space removed.
