Trying this one again, it seems the conversation changed but not the subject Line. LOL Hi, Every time I try to compact the mail folders in OE it returns an error message that the 'File Folders' is in use and halts the compacting. Where in the H*ll is the File Folder? OE was closed at the time and I had an automatic offer to compact the folders, Can anyone shed any light.
