should I go for it, what it means?

This means that there are more than a certain level of white space in your message store (usually this means that you have removed a number of items).

Yes go ahead.

Compacted mail databases are generally safer and more resistant to corruption than the non-compacted.

    Vista does NOT compact your e-mail messages. It is purely a misconception and the poor choice of terminology Microsoft.

    WM, each message occupies its own file, so no message compaction is necessary. "Compacting" mentioned in WM's
    inside the message database. Whenever you delete a message, it leaves a gap in the data base (index). Compaction removes the empty spaces, thus speeding up the access of database.

    Windows Mail offers to compact the index file of the emails, remove references to deleted messages and will continue to until you let it.
    The actual messages are stored in separate files. Once you let this, the message will disappear until you close Windows Mail a number oftimes - usually 100 times.

    You should allow Vista to "compacting".
    If you INSIST... and you should not...

    As much as I know there is no absolute limit.  The number of accounts depends on many variables.  I can say that it is over 25, which is what I have.

    Not sure what you mean by "are these...". can overlap in WLM"you be more specific?

    Any email can be hacked given enough time.

  • E-mail: can't delete messages

    I keep getting messages about low disk space - but I'm unable to remove the number of listed e-mails (delete the folder (4000)) then when I try to send my e-mail messages to the folder delete it adds to the already mentioned number.

    Assuming that Outlook Express...

    1. move all the messages you want to keep out folders, sent items and deleted items, and in other local OE folders you have created for archiving (backup) of such messages.

    1B. move 99% of your messages in your Inbox folder to other folders the of OE, too.

    2. Note the location of the store of your identity (http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain).

    2B. turn on "Show hidden folders and files" via start | Control Panel | Folder options | View (see http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html).

    3. close OE.

    4. in Windows Explorer, navigate to your storage folder, find & remove Outbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbxand Deleted Items.dbxfile.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    To avoid such problems in the future, comply with the following restrictions:

    N ' not use Inbox or sent items to archive messages.  Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

    -Empty the deleted items folder daily.

    -Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE while records that "work offline".  More on http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

    -Do not cancel automatic compacting, where it would happen and do not try to close OE via Manager tasks or stop your Automatic compaction machine can take place.

    -Disable e-mail scanning in your antivirus application.  It can cause corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and offers no additional protection:

  • Outlook Express can compact messages. How can I disable this error?

    OUTLOOK Express on Windows XP very annoying, it's almost each and every time I click on anything whether to open or close any program, etc...

    An error message is displayed: OUTLOOK Express: to free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages.

    This can take up to a few minutes.      OK or CANCEL

    It's on my computer for several years now and bugs the heck out of me.  How can I remove it so he won't?

    ALSO: All programs when opening are reduced to the minimum (small format) forces me to click on the big box next to the RED X at the top right?

    Why this is happening and how to remove this problem.  I do NOT need to expand all my programs constantly from the start?

    Thanks for your help Mike G.   * E-mail address is removed from the privacy *

    I do not use OE so I really should stay out of it, but I have it in my notes that can get you started and then other people may also help:

    I advise all to first understand what is happening and then decide how best to treat for your environment:

    If you are talking about a message that says:

    To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This can take up to a few minutes.

    Automatic compaction of Outlook Express files was introduced in Service Pack 2.

    If you are using Windows XP, there is a registry value called:

    Compact Check Count

    It is located in the registry for a key that looks like this:

    \Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 HKCU\Identities\ {51909A0B-63EE-4EB3-A9A2-7CFA23C1ADCF}

    Whenever you leave OE (not when you open it), the value of the counter increases by an increment (increment is not a verb so you can't increment something and a counter cannot be incremented).  When the value of the counter gets to 101, the next time you close OE asked you to compress messages.

    There are two things that will increase the value of the counter.

    Exit from Outlook Express will increase the value of the counter.

    If you have Windows Desktop Search installed, it will increase the counter every time it works which is usually at least at each reboot.

    If you use Outlook Express, and Windows Desktop Search, the counter will be increased more frequently — whenever you close Outlook Express and whenever Windows Desktop Search launches when you restart.

    So if you have Desktop Search installed, which will increase the counter of an increment, each time that you start and if you open and close OE ten times a day, your meter will be at eleven after only a day.  Repeat this for 9 days and you will see this message.

    Even if you are not using Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search, which will still increase the meter, so when the meter reaches 100, Windows Desktop Search will prompt you to compress messages at the next reboot even if you use not OE.

    This is because Windows Desktop Search is configured by default to search for the Outlook Express database if you are using OE or not.

    No matter how the counter is increased, if you use at least one of these two, eventually you will see this message appear sooner or later.  But you can stop it when you understand.

    Did you know that the "increase" is not a verb?  If you cannot 'increment' (or decrement) a counter.  You can increase or decrease an increment, however.

    You can compress data when prompted (which resets the counter to 0).

    You can change the registry and reset the counter to hand to buy some time until you see the message again.

    If you do not use Outlook Express and only using Windows Desktop Search you can tell Windows Desktop Search to never watch the Outlook Express database (or uninstall the Windows Desktop Search if you do not use).

    To remove the Option of Windows Desktop Search index to the database of Outlook Express follow these steps:

    Click Start, settings, Control Panel, Indexing Options, change, clear the box Outlook Express, OK, OK, to save the settings and reboot the system so that the changes will be effective.

    After the Outlook Express recommended for use (which would include the normal database maintenance) will prevent you from seeing the message in the first place.  If you see the message that you might want to reconsider how you use Outlook Express and the risks of data store corruption of occasional or misuse (risk behaviours).

    Most people using Outlook Express or Windows Desktop Search agree just remove the indexing Option in Windows Desktop Search and keep the meter that is built into Outlook Express so that they will remind to compact the database from time to time.  If you had to sort of do not maintain your Outlook Express files, it would be risky for your messages.

    Windows Desktop Search is a memory and CPU of pigs anyway, so you better system performance if you just uninstall it.
