Comment: Should one compact 'all files' in outlook express or just in certain circumstances? There doesn't seem to be an option to reverse the compact if needed tho'.

Reply: (edit)tykko, the purpose of compacting is space conservation. Only you can decide whether or not that's needed. As a routine matter, don't think I'd compact. Only where needed.
