Compaction results often in file corruption and loss of messages. There is
a new patch you have installed (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2) that puts
the message files in the recycle bin prior to compacting, so if the
compaction fails, then you can restore the files and not experience the
message loss.

When I start the compacting process, I get a message that says that the
messages are being copied to another folder.

What is going on here?
