Thunderbird for Charter eMail, POP not web based I keep getting
a small boxed pop up asking if I want to compact it... Please
what does that mean?  Member Summary  To paraphrase, compacting
email is a clanup activity that compresses your local mail
store. It is done to reduce space on your local computer. Most
off-line email progs offer a compact messages option to reduce
the size of the mail store on your local machine. Basically
compacting email performs cleanup operating that among other
tasks it removes all the previously deleted emails in your mail
store. In addition it removes whitespace from archived emails
messages.  Or, to put it the way I usually explain it to my non-
computer literate customers... It removes some junk, making your
email files smaller and (theoretically) faster.  Thanks all
