Big Kudos to anybody who can solve this one! Very little/nothing on Google or microsoft support site. Here's the problem: I'm helping a family member who has a new Dell PC with Windows XP Home, Outlook Express 6. Every time they close Outlook Express, the following Warning pops up: To free up disk space OE can compact messages. This may take a few minutes. There are 2 options - OK and Cancel. Here is the rub: We've closed the warning, or we've clicked OK, or we've clicked cancel, we've checked the box that says don't ask me again....these warnings continue to come up next time (EVERY time) Outlook Express is closed. This is a senior citizen who has, maybe, 20 email messages and no shortage of memory or disk space. I want to prevent this warning from coming up ever again. How do I do it? Is there some default I can change somewhere?
Usually when this happens and it happens to me quite a bit i say ok or yes and it compacts and does not come back for awhile. If it keeps comming you can do 2 things. 1.reinstall the program or install another program that does the same job. or 2.Make sure all your window updates are up to date cause they always have new updates for Outlook Express.
