FYI: OP has KB911567 installed. This update restored the prompt if it was
disabled and there it no more box to check. About the only good thing this
patch did. g

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.

If you have checked "Do not show this again", it will compact your
messages every 100 closings and you won't be aware of it unless you shut
down your computer or do something to interrupt the process and then you
will lose all your messages.

I would download and install the OE Tool just to be on the safe side.

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
