You've got too many messages to compact.

The files are too big.

Move messages into newly created folders and delete as much ash and trash as
you can.

Each compacting of messages in my OE (v. 6.00.2900.5512) turns into a
nightmare - it takes about 30 minutes, sometimes more. Is it right?
There is "a few minutes" in the primary message! The file sizes is:
Inbox.dbx - 475 Mb, Sent Item.dbx - 390 Mb.

How can I fix this?

Thanks
