Actually the compacting process simply removes the empty space created
after
messages have been deleted. When a message is deleted the space that it
required for it is not reallocated in the DBX file and that is why
compression every now and then is needed. It is quite possible if a DBX
file
becomes too large it may start to be unstable.

I've never heard of that, I use OE and save tons of emails in many
folders.
The compacting does not delete any emails, I guess it just squashes them
all
together to make more room? That's the visual that popped into my
brain,lol

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Saving Messages In OE
Hi listers. What is the maximum number of messages that can be safely
saved in a user-defined Outlook Express folder? The reason I am asking
this question is that I just noticed that some of the earliest messages
in
my user-defined OE folders have inexplicably disappeared. Since I never
conciously deleted them, I am assuming that they were deleted
automatically by OE or by some other process I am not aware of. I know
that the Compact All Folders option compacts all OE folders to save disk
space and make OE run more efficiently, but does it also delete the
oldest
messages from each folder if it has grown too large? Or are messages
automatically deleted after they have been saved for a certain period of
time? Thanks for any explanation.
Gerald
