You can stop the pop up from coming up everytime by going to the mail "tool"
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.

That's like turning off the seatbelt warning buzzer on your car...

There is a good reason why compaction should be done periodically.

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?

Regards,

BigNic

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.
