outlook express popup message about compressing messages

While in outlook express 6, I am annoyed with frequent popups suggesting I allow them to compress my messages in order to provide more space. I do not have that many messages stored. How do I stop this intrusion? It has been appearing for at least 3 weeks.

I have XP service pack 2

Thank you.

joannan--That message is set by Windows to come up every so many times you use/close OE, and usually that number is around 100. If you want to have a longer period between messages, perhaps the Registry tweak at the end of this reference will help.

Thank you for the information about the set time of the message.
Since I am not that comfortable in the registry, I will let it be for now.
