    I can compact all but 1 folder without errors.

    I get this message every time I try to compact this particular folder:

    " "The folder is currently in use by Outlook Express or by another application" "

    Any ideas....??

    What is the name of the folder?

    Food for though.
    Create a New Folder...Drag all the mail out of the possible corrupted one to the new folder - delete the original one.
