Re: Outlook Express problem-solution

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Finally found the answer - MS new version "feature" Window Search Indexing 
(which came in a recent update of XP) is by default contantly indexing 
Outlook Express, and tripping the counter of when folders need 
mpacting.   - you can go into the Windows Search options and remove Outlook 
Express as an area to index...
However, having OE up, and going into the properties of Windows Indexing 
seems to index OE anyhow. (I would be ashamed to write and release such 
sloppy code).
