Default OE6.0 compact question

Thanks. I had no idea what was going on :-)

I compact folders each night manually in OE and have never had any issues
with this procedure. The folders compress and that's it.
Just tonight, OE started copying all the dbx files to the recycle bin as
I manually compress. They show up there with a BAK extension.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me. I don't think I've changed any
settings and this has never happened before.
If possible I need to know what's happening and why and how to correct it
if it's an issue please.
Thank you

It's an update from Windows Update. Now, when you compact, OE sets the
count back to zero and backs up your messages and puts them in the recycle
bin. It's normal and about time they released it. I've had it for months.
If, after a reboot, your OE hasn't lost any messages, you can delete the
items in the recycle bin.
