then click "options" then click "advanced" then click "maintenance" then unclick the box that says " Compact the database on shutdown every 100 runs. The popup messages should cease. -- RC |

That's like turning off the seatbelt warning buzzer on your car...
There is a good reason why compaction should be done periodically. -- Gary VanderMolen [MS-MVP WLM] "Mr. Ray" wrote in message ...

I actually do compact mine when asked, however i thought it was just to free
up space. Is that correct or not? What is the importance of actually performing this if it isn't for clearing up some space?

It frees up space in the index file for pointers to the deleted messages.
However, it's more important that it allows you to access the database for all the messages faster. "Papa Bear" Papa wrote in message ...

I do not understand. Why should the compaction be done?

It's a necessary housekeeping chore. Like periodically taking out the
garbage at home. Eventually the garbage would take up so much space that you can't live in the house anymore. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Fortuitous" wrote in message ... I do not understand.
