Compacting Messages?
After all these years, I'm now getting a pop-up box that says "To free up
disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This may take a few minutes." I have cancelled it each time the box comes up, as I have few emails in all my folders. What gives with this? And how do I stop the box from appearing everytime I exit Outlook Express? Thanks. |

Let it do the compact and you won't see that message age until you close
OE 100 more times. If you don't have a lot of messages, it probably won't take more than a few seconds. Make sure to let it finish before you turn your PC off. Compacting recovers the wasted space from deleted/moved messages. It's necessary to the well-being of the mail files. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Scotirish" wrote in message ...

Good afternoon, Mike. Thanks for your response. I'll let OE compact the messages the next time the pop-up box appears. Scotirish 4/22/06 |
