Default impossible to compact folder

Hello,
My inbox is way overdue for compacting. The trouble was, when I tried
to compact, I got the error message (msminn illegal action). So the
folder just kept getting bigger.
Now, what can I do about it?
I've cleared some disk space, so there's enough room to do the
compacting. But I still get the error message, and a new inbox.dbt
file created.

I've also tried putting the hard disk into a newer computer as a slave
drive. I then copied the whole OE folder onto the huge (40 GB) hard
drive on the newer computer and configured the OE on the new computer
to use it. But the compacting still didn't work, same error message.

What to do ?

Thanks
