Go ahead and get rid of your messages folder. If you're worried about possibly losing something, just cut and paste it from your .lg folder. You can always put it back later if you wish.
Let us know how that goes.

Well, I got rid of lots of stuff, including the message folder as well as the teams, players, coaches, and history folders out of the html folder, plus messages.dat. (The manual says it won't hurt to lose these files.) I decided also, right or wrong, to get rid of the teams, players, coaches, and history folders from each almanac folder.
So maybe it's because my Mac is in the process of deleting over 1.2 million files, but from the time I clicked on "Retired Players" after inducting a new guy to the Hall, it's been over two hours.
Here's some more info, in case it helps at all:
players.dat 61.4 M
retired.dat 94.5 M
world.dat 19.8 M
teams.dat 12.4 M
My news folder contains 48 years' worth of almanac files (just images, leagues, index.html, and styles.css) -- almanac folders range between 11.7 meg and 338.1 meg, not counting the most recent season ('cause I haven't deleted the teams, players, coaches, and history folders yet). The news folder itself is 10.47 gigabytes.
If these are ridiculous sizes, what have I done wrong? Also... is it possible that the game has hung up? Activity Monitor shows "Out of the Park Developments (not responding)" in red, but that in itself doesn't necessarily mean it's not working -- just that the beach ball is spinning.
I'm afraid to force-quit OOTP -- dunno what data might be lost, if any, or if it'll thoroughly hose this particular game.
