My outlook express when compacting files, keeps giving me an error "could not proceed because this folder is in use by outlook or another application."
My inbox is huge and got 10,000 messages so I need to compact it to retrieve messages from months ago. Otherwise when I use Find and it finds the message, I double-click and it cannot display the message and just has Outlook Express error where the message is supposed to be. I surmise this is because messages need to be defragmented to be able to retrieve them better.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
