This has only started happening in the past week or so.
XP Home. SP2.
I regularly 'compact' all folders in Outlook Express and it has always worked quickly and smoothly.
Recently however, I have been getting an error message., see attachment.
By experimenting with individual folders, I have narrowed it down to the 'Deleted Items' folder. Even when the folder is emptied then compacted this error message flags up.
