Outlook Express

An error has been occuring in outlook express (OE). It is "To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact your messages. This may take up to a few minutes." Now I dont personally use Outlook Express but a friend asked about it. like all programs it does use disk space and if you dont clean up your folders, i.e. you sent mail folder or your deleted folder. they take up space and can slow down your email processing.

Ok so now you want to clean up the OE it is easy to do I would first recomend setting OE to work off line . To set OE to work off line click on file then go down till you see work off line and click on it.

Now I would back up your email that you want saved. after the back up click on file then folders then compact all folders. Depending on how much is in OE it may take it awhile. just goto lunch or do something else while it is working.

If you do this once a month you will keep your email working fast and smothly.
