These are all 'general' error messages spreading back to 2000 - none of
the messages look abnormal. Many of them appear to auto replies etc. or
situations where people have 'replied' to nobody etc.

Can I just delete the files in question - or must I delete the contents
- if so what is the best method for cleaning out a mailbox.
