This compacting function has corrupted my Inbox three times now, and sent the entire Inbox to the fifth dimension, not retrievable in any way. I've found that I have to close every open program (including IE 6) to prevent this file corruption, and even then I get 3 or 4 messages during the compacting process that tells me that OE is being used by another program dur

Outlook Express 6 has this annoying habit of asking to compress the folder to "free up space" after every 100 (?) mails. When I allow the compacting, after it has been through a few folders, I get an error message that 'some program is using this folder' outlook express (the one being currently compacted) But there are no other programs or even OE is running since I know my laptop resources are fully hogged by this compacting thingy and I don't run any other application during this long drawn process. I have MSE and spybot SD resident active all the time. Could they be using this particular folder ? It's bad enough that this time consuming and outlook express compact resources hogging compressing program auto starts, but when it stops half-way citing some lame reason, you go 'aaargh'. Any tips how to resolve this issue ?

I will have to wait till the next OE compaction prompt to see what happens when I disable MSE and spybot. Thanks.
