Guys,

I'm posting this in the OS category, as OE6 is so interwoven w/ Windows. I'm attempting to "Compact all folders" and when it begins I get an error message that indicates "The folder is currently in use by Outlook Express or another application." Whether I click on OK or Cancel it aborts the compacting process. Any suggestions as to what I can do to make this compacting operation work through to completion? FWIW this error message has just recently shown up.

TIA,

Jeff
