I didnt do anything, and was at 97% for a while. at least 1.5 years ago, and suddenly I was at 72%.

I dont believe they have gotten rid of stuff.

You can also search for emails with attachments, and say up to 3 years ago (assuming nothing important still lies there somewhere) and delete.

how do you do that?
What I did was set up both accounts in outlook with imap, then copied the folder from one to the other.
