Installed Windows Live Mail - Outlook Express tries compact messa

I switched to Windows Live Mail as Outlook Express was no longer supported,
but now I am getting every five minute a message that Outlook Express wants
to compact messages.

Odd! See if line 367 helps:

However, Outlook Express still wants to compact messages each time I launch
the Live Mail. Of course, it is much better than earlier, when it wanted to
do this every few minutes.

Is WLMail your default Mail Client now? Do you still use OE?

You'll find support for Windows Live Mail (WLMail) in this public newsgroup:
microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

Via the web-interface:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...e.mail.desktop

Via your newsreader:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...e.mail.desktop

Yes it is. I don't use Outlook.

[Please quote this entire post when you reply. Thank you.]

Outlook (OL) and Outlook Express (OE) are not the same application. I asked
if you still used OE?

If you don't see if removing access to OE makes any difference:

Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Add/Remove Windows Components | OE
(uncheck).

Make sure that WLMail is set as your default Mail Client in Set Program
Access and Defaults as well as in IE Tools | Internet Options | Programs.
