Unfortunately, something is blocking it from completing. There is nothing bad about this, and you can stop it by turning off the auto-compact setting: Of course it would be better to figure out why it won’t compact. There are a few reasons this can happen: Not enough disk space to create temporary files (must have as much free space as the message store uses) The file is actually in use. Look at which folder OE says failed. Then you use Unlocker to confirm that the .dbx file is only used by OE and not something else. If so, then you can select (click on) either Outlook Express or Local Folders before compacting. Try compacting manually (File⇨Folder⇨Compact (All Folders)) to reset OE’s compact schedule. If you have created a new folder, then restarting OE should fix it. If you have subscribed to a bunch of newsgroups, then folde
any specific error that appears on your screen, then probably you are dealing with the 2GB storage limit problem of Outlook Express. This happens because Outlook Express has a storage limit of 2Gb for each mail folder. e.g. Inbox, Sent, Outbox etc. First of all, you should know that each Outlook Express mail folder has its own file for mail storage with the extension “.DBX”, (e.g. Outlook express “Inbox” folder has Inbox.dbx file for mail storage, Outlook Express “Outbox” folder has “Outbox.dbx” file for mail storage, etc.) When any of Outlook Express files (e.g. inbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbx, Outbox.dbx, etc.) overrides the 2GB storage limit, then you cannot work with the corresponding folder anymore (e.g. If “Inbox.dbx” file overrides the 2gb storage limit, then you cannot work with Inbox folder and the symptom is that you cannot receive any new e-mails or if “Send.dbx” file overrides the 2gb storage limit then you cannot work with “Sent Items” and the symptom is that you cannot send e-mail, etc.). This happens because Outlook Express cannot put any new messages in the corresponding folder. This tutorial shows you how to easily solve (fix) the Outlook Express 2GB limit problem. How to solve Outlook Express 2GB limit problem: Notice: In this example the symptom is that we cannot receive new e-mails because Inbox.dbx file (Inbox folder) has overridden the 2GB storage limit. IMPORTANT (Before continue to the next steps): 1. Delete all unwanted e-mails from the over-sized folder. 2. Organize your e-mails. For example: under the oversized folder (e.g.: Inbox) create a separate folder and move the old mails (e.g. past year's) there. Step 1. Find the Outlook Express store folder. How to Find the Outlook Express store folder: 1. From Outlook Express menu, go to: “Tools” > “Options” 2. In Options menu click the “Maintenance” tab. 3. In Maintenance tab, click the “Store Folder” button. 4. Select the entire Outlook Express storage path and then right click on it and select “Copy”. 6. Press “Cancel” twice to exit Outlook Express
