In addition to what DL says, make sure you compact all folders in OE before
you do the export...

Thanks Gordon, I regularly compact and have kept the file folders small too
and surprised when I suffered corruption problem. So, enough of OE problems

If you are using 2007, no - it automatically compacts as you go along, when
a certain percentage of white space exists AFAIK...
