The memory lost is not reported when checking the size of the In/Out box.
If you've been storing mail onto both the Internal store and your card, you
will have to wipe both. But it you've been storing all of your mail on,
say, the memory card, then you only have to wipe the card.
Merely deleting the In/Out Box icon in the Storage folder in Extras will
*not* free up the memory.
