This is due to a recent update. Now when you compact, a copy of your dbx
files are sent to the Recycle Bin in the event that something should go wrong and messages, or entire folders are lost when you are compacting. Many people do not back up Outlook Express on a regular basis. This new mandatory backup is something people have been asking for quite awhile as we spend a lot of time helping people getting their messages back, and they have to purchase a tool to recover messages. You can empty the Recycle Bin any time you want and the bak files will go away until you compact again. For more info, see the information outlined in red he www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 If you don't currently back up OE regularly, I would suggest you get this, or a similar tool, (freeware): This freeware tool backs up everything in OE in seconds. Disregard what is written in red. That is referring to a different program.

Is there a way to create a folder for this,instead of using the recycle bin
or OEQB? some people have a habit of clearing the recycle bin without checking it. "Bruce Hagen" wrote: This is due to a recent update.

No. You can still use OEQB though.

These are only /copies/ of your dbx files and are meant to be deleted if
there is no loss of messages after you compact. Every thing else is as it always was and your dbx files still exist intact. There is no way to send them any place else. OEQB is a program of its own and the folder you create for it can be located any place on your C drive should you choose to use the program. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Dmhoo29" wrote in message ...

See the Notes section of http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918069 for an

So that's what the "Copying {something}" message that's started appearing when I compact means... It sure slows down the compacting process but I suppose it's worth the extra security. -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com |

They can be restored in minutes and no need to pay $24.95, (Sorry Steve), for DBXpress to get the messages back. Used to take me about 5 seconds, and now about 10. But I do it at least twice a week. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ |

I mean what with WinMail replacing OE in Vista, it's kind of like rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic or something. -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com |
