Hi Steve, As far as disabling it, no, but I believe there is a.reg file that will allow you to change the frequency of the compaction. Personally, I just compact them manually once a week, since I don't receive an extraordinary amount of mail, and don't open OE alot in any given day. My advice to anyone using OE would be to manually compact the messages on a regular basis, avoiding the automatic compaction. As far as backing up the folders for OE,I simply back up the Documents and Settings folder every day, doing this gets me more than I need, but I get the important stuff in one sweep, like: OE identities Jaws settings Address book custom dictionary Desktop Favorites Start Menu, and the SendTo folder. I use Karen's Replicator to perform this job, and E-Backup to save the internal settings for OE.
