When you delete messages in OE, you are not deleting files. You are updating the DBX
file.
When you delete a message from the Inbox, they are still in the Inbox.DBX file, for the
most part. Deleting overwrites a little bit of the message.
However, if you do a manual compaction, or have background compaction enabled (Tools,
Options, Maintenance), that permanently wipes out the messages.
