I get the message after about 5 minutes as OE tries to compress my INbox.
The message is a popup titled Outlook Express with The folder is currently
use by OUtlook Express or another application. OK or Cancel.

I can't compact OE files. I get a message; folder in use by Outlook
Express or other application. I closed all other apps and went offline as
recommended and still have the problem. Is this the correct place for
help? All tips appreciated
tnx
