OE does not archive messages.
You are probably getting an offer to compact. When a message is "deleted"
it is actually still there taking up space in the folder. As they
accumulate the folder get slower and eventually unusable.

Pick a time when you won't be using the machine for a while and click File |
Work Offline. Then close OE and let it compact the folders.
