You could have too many retained messages. When files are deleted, they 
normally end up in the "deleted" folder. As long as you do not want any 
of the deleted messages you can empty this folder by right clicking on 
it and chose "empty folder".

While you are at it and if you have other folders, you may want to 
delete message from those folders that you no longer need. Then empty 
the deleted items folder again.
