Windows mail keeps trying to compact the the files when I close the program.
It keeps trying and I get errors. How is this fixed? It's the most annoying
thing as it doesn't
quit, if I click OK - I get another error. How do I get it to compact the
news/mail
files? Never had this problem with OE

I used this www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/ to compact and repair the database - it
said it compressed it, but did not. WMail is still trying to compess the
data base every time I close the program. How is this fixed once and for
all? I'm also getting a little window pop up from the bottom bar saying
"Data Execution Prevention closed Windows?"
What the hell is "Data Execution Prevention?"

I am NOT an expert but this happened to me not long ago - this is how I
fixed it.

This is a problem with a max size being reached.
It happened to me when I had a large database (4Gb) of news articles
across 25+ newsgropups.
Mostly binaries.

Quick fix is to delete stuff, then try and keep your newsbase to moderate
limits.

I would;
Make a news filter to delete posts after 1 or 2 days. (Apply it!)
Be ruthless, if you need to keep posts, archive them, copy them somwwhere
outside winmail.
Decrease number of binary newsgroups subscribed to.
Right-click on each newsgroup in your folders pane, you should be able to go
to 'properties' and see how many articles are in your database.
Select 'Local File' where you can remove message bodies, delete or reset
each newsgroup. I would delete.

If all this hasn't cleared out enough...
Find your news folder;
c:/users/yourname/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsMail (You may have to 'show
hidden files and folders')

You should see a folder for your news account, containing a folder for each
newsgroup you sub to.
Hover your mouse over each to check for any biggies. You can safely delete
the contents of these.

How do I make a filter? ?????

I'm not subscribed to any.

go to 'properties' and see how many articles are in your database.

each newsgroup. I would delete.

OK, did that.

Find your news folder;
c:/users/yourname/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsMail (You may have to
'show hidden files and folders')

There is no "WindowsMail" after c:/users/myname/AppData/Local/Microsoft
..... ? Where is WindowsMail in Vista Home Premium?


You should see a folder for your news account, containing a folder for
each newsgroup you sub to.

the contents of these.

It's not there. Where else would it be?
