Compacting a folder

[Ken A]

When I go of line and try to compact All Folders, then on the Inbox and
Deleted Items the compacting stops and I get a message "Another program is
using this folder". Then the compacting stops on these two folders. Anyone
have any idea what is causing this?

Thanks for any insight on this matter.
Ken A.
