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'.

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. For further discussion, see the info @: http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/ HTH. Ed in Texas.
