| | Re: Windows Mail can compact the message store." That's like turning off the seatbelt warning buzzer on your car... There is a good reason why compaction should be done periodically. -- Gary VanderMolen [MS-MVP WLM] "Mr. Ray" <cloutier.mail@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:5ADDEB56-20BD-4B47-9C7A-EB780E692D0F@xxxxxx Quote: > You can stop the pop up from coming up everytime by going to the mail "tool" > then click "options" then click "advanced" then click "maintenance" then > unclick the box that says " Compact the database on shutdown every 100 runs. > The popup messages should cease. > -- > RC |

If it is running to often for you, you can increase the number of runs to make it run less often. Shawn |

| | Re: Windows Mail can compact the message store." I actually do compact mine when asked, however i thought it was just to free up space. Is that correct or not? What is the importance of actually performing this if it isn't for clearing up some space?

| | Re: Windows Mail can compact the message store." It frees up space in the index file for pointers to the deleted messages. However, it's more important that it allows you to access the database for all the messages faster.

| | Re: Windows Mail can compact the message store." It's a necessary housekeeping chore. Like periodically taking out the garbage at home. Eventually the garbage would take up so much space that you can't live in the house anymore. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Fortuitous" <Fortuitous@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:026F3B6D-3E8E-4D35-977D-BB7A1ED7DB67@xxxxxx Quote: >I do not understand.
