Thanks Frank;

My only question would be a REAL concern about my procedure of compacting
every night. I do this as the last thing before closing down my system.
Does this mean I now have to reopen OE every night after compacting and
check every folder to see that messages are still intact, then go into the
recycle bin and empty it? That will mean I have to go back and open each
and every folder on the bar to see if it's showing messages, and even then
I won't know if they are ALL there.


No. As long as you do not interrupt the compacting process by shutting down
the machine before compacting finished you should be all right, especially
if you click File | Work Offline first.
