ok, this is weird. Every now and then, I get the following dialog when I close Outlook distress, o oops, did I say that... I meant, Express. sorry. anyway, seriously: here's the msg.


To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This may take up to a few minutes.

When I hit ok, though I know what this msg means, can someone explain why on both! my computers, I get the following message after hitting ok?

The folder is currently in use by Outlook Express or by another application.

Um, no, it, ain't, thank you?

I closed the son of a gun. I'm really perplexed. Any reason why this would be happening?

Chris.
