It is copying your existing DBX files from the message store folder to the
Recycle Bin as a precaution against damage to the DBX files so that you will
not "lose" your stored messages. A KB article will be released, hopefully
in a short while explaining all of this, but in the meantime, see the info
here (in the red box under Tip #2):

Hi everyone,

I am running xpsp2 and use OE 6...

I compact all folders in OE on a regular basis (ie every day), and have
been doing this for a long time. I just noticed something today that I
never noticed before (I don't think - or at least not on a regular basis).
When I click "compact all folders" it puts up two boxes (the one I'm used
to in the center, and a "new one" that I do not recall, which says
"copying", and is located to the upper left of the regular box in the
center. After the upper left box gets done copying whatever it is
copying, it closes and then the center box finishes the compacting
process.

Can someone please tell me what could have caused this second box to
appear all of a sudden. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with any
of the windows security updates (I just updated windows today). Could
something be wrong here.

Thanks for any help you can provide...Pete
