If WLM has been running awhile it will often have a problem when it
tries to compact. You need to start WLM and then immediately shut it
down before doing a lot of activity.
You can do that by setting the compact count to 1 when you want to
compact.
What I do instead is run a little REG file when I want to force a
compact. Instead of setting the interval to 1, I set the number of
opens to 100.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
; Trigger Compacting in Windows Live Mail (WLM) on next close
; Sets number of WLM closes since last compact to 100 (hex 64)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail]
"Compact Check Count"=dword:00000064
; Assumes Tools, Options, Advanced, Maintenance, Compact on xxx runs
; is set to 100 (hex 64) or less
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\News]
"Cache Compact Runs"=dword:00000064
