Make OE compact the messages more frequently??

[vista user 43]

Hello, OE compacts the dbx files after 100 runs according to this site

http://www.plex86.org/dell/How-to-Stop-Outlook-Express-Automatic-Message-Compacting.html

IS IT POSSIBLE to make it compact the emails after less times, for example
30?

Im Using XPSP2

THANKS

Frequently compact all OE folders manually and you'll never see Automatic
Compacting (http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact).

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working
offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not attempt to
close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting
is taking place.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

Why not ask the expert in an EO newsgroup?
