Adrian,

Good sleuthing. I know that auto archive is a feature with MS-Outlook, but 
sure didn't recall anything in Outlook Express. A third-party application is 
definitely a valid question to pose.

BTW I just ran a compact on my system here, and it took over 25 minutes. So 
it may still just be a matter of semantics, in connection with needing to 
wait longer. If OE is launched after aborting the compaction process, I'm 
pretty sure it will try again to compact the next time it's opened and 
closed, so Ray you may want to encourage your client to go make an espresso 
while the compacting is going on, just to be sure.

I just posed a Google  query about archiving in OE. Something is confused
because, as this PC Magazine article states, OE doesn't have an archive
feature:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1645325,00.asp

To correct the element I contributed to this confusion, I now remember I was
advised not to use Outlook's archive feature, not, as I indicated, OE's.

Ray, did your client install a third-party archive, as this article
discusses?

Ray,
A couple thoughts, in addition to Adrian's suggestion....

1. I still can't find any mention of "auto archive" in the OE settings, nor
anything like "auto compact". Where is this setting?

2. Next time, set JAWS to read all screen changes (insert S) so you can
listen to the progress of the compaction. It should speak the folder, and
then some number of seconds, repeating for every folder. Again it takes a
long time if there are thousands of messages. I have one folder with 14
thousand messages that alone took over 3 minutes to compact.

Hi Dave:

That message about compacting items is what comes up for the client when he
closes.  I understand it could take a long time, but we waited probably 10
minutes, and JAWS was giving percentages for a while, then stopped with no
indication what was going on.
