Hello Mikey
Same here, but in the last 9 months this last weekend, was the first time
this window has appeared. I keep all folders to no more than 5 or 6
messages. I save those I want to keep in My Docs. so there was no way I
needed any space.
Coincidence or not, this has not see this compacting message since I deleted
that last lot of problem updates, which included KB 911567, the one for
Outlook Express??????
If it starts again, I will try Alias's suggestion.

Almost every time I close OE6 it asks if I would like to compact messages.
Sometimes I do this, but I don't need asking every time. Is there some way
to stop this message? It only seems to happen since downloading XP/SP2.
Thanx
Mikey
