So you're seeing this on the server side? 100mb isn't much for a mailbox limit.

You'll have to look at the sizes of each individual folder and see where the data is....probably in the Sent Items Folder.

Right click on the mailbox itself, choose properties, then click on folder size in the lower left corner of the dialogue box. It will show you where the mail is dispersed and how much is in each part of the mailbox. Inbox, sent, drafts, deleted, nuke accordingly
Oh and 160000KB is 156.25MB

I didn't see "Emptied the Deleted Items folder" on your list.
Until that folder is emptied, the items are still in the mailbox.
