Also, you can selectively compact individual folders, as well.

What are you doing to compact your folders in outlook express?  This might
be helpful

There is a way that you can compact all your folders and save some disk
space.  Go to local folders and close all the folders.  Use the file menu to
go to folders then you should hear compact and press enter.  This way all
your folders are compacted and it doesn't take a lot of time.  I hope that
this helps you.
