Thank you for these suggestions.
I believe that Windows Destop Indexing/Search is runing. It does do anything
to help me. Is it easy to stop/remove?

NEVER say no to that prompt!
Is Windows (Desktop) Search installed?
General OE Caveats:
- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.
- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.
- Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working
offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm
- Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not attempt
to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic
Compacting is taking place.
- Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It can cause
corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and provides no additional protection:

I
open or close OE6.
Sometimes in the middle of the night the PC gives a series of beeps for
about 30 seconds. I suspect that this is related.
If I say no to "Do you want to compact?" I cannot open OE6: I get a
message
that an instance of OE is already running. When I log off OE6 has to crash
and send an error log to Microsoft.
I am alarmed to read that one should not do anything while compacting is
taking place. There are no warnings about this in the messages from OE. It
does not make OE appear to be very robust.
