Hi Lino,
Just a note here, if you use the C, option, this compacts only the folder 
you have opened.
Using the F, will compact all folders, but the same conditions apply in 
either case.
I wouldn't see any reason to compact folders that are empty.
Here is a thought, and is common practice for me:
Historically, Outlook Express has a tendency to become unstable from storing 
large quantities of messages,
and it is for this reason, that I never store  any messages in it.
If you save your messages outside of O E, preferably on a different 
partition, where they can be easily backed up,
then if your operating system fails, you will not have lost any messages.
I save all of the messages I want on a seperate partition, for easy access, 
and they are backed up to an external drive daily.
I save them as .eml files, and that way they can be opened by O E, and
you can treat them as if they were still in the program.
HTH,
