compacting, compressing, etc

[Guest]

When outlook express asks to compress, compact files...is it recommended to
perform this? Reason I ask is that it seems to affect incoming and outgoing
mail with delays.

thanks

Yes, do it and don't touch your mouse or keyboard while it's doing it.
If you're up-to-date with Windows Update, you will find all your .dbx
files in the recycle bin with a .bak extension. This is a back up of
your messages and normal. If all is well after compacting, delete the
files in the recycle bin.
