Whenever I close Outlook Express 6 I get the following message: "To free up
disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This may take up to a few
minutes."
Since I do not wish to compact this way, I have gone back to OE, gone
offline, closed all folders, and compacted all folders from the program
itself. However, the message still comes up when I again close OE.
I have noticed that there are a couple of different downloads mentioned in
different posts that can help with the compacting problem. What program
should I download? I have just upgraded to IE 7. Can the downloaded program
be used with this version?
Thank you.
