OE Compacting in the backgroud....?
I have OE 6 and it keeps asking to compact messages. How about a solution to
turn the d*** thing off?

NB: While the newsserver you're using may carry microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.outlooke xpress newsgroup, it is NOT a newsgroup carried on the MS newsserver. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ R Palino wrote: Somewhere along the way, I came across an option for OE to "compact messages in the backgroud". Now, for some reason I am getting repeated (and I mean repeatedly!) pop-up messages that say: "To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This may take a few minutes." It also seems to take some system resources and slows down other things I am doing. I assume this is becuase I picked to "compact messages in the background" that htis is now occurring. I cant recall, nor can find this option anymore. How do I stop getting these pop-up messages...? THank you.
