I did go to the sites it said to get rid of it, but it does not give me that option. Since I clicked on the compacting message, my e-mail is actually mushrooming. It will put the same e-mails in each are of In-Box, Sent, Folders and have 5 e-mails stored in each on. When I open the e-mail it has every e-mail with that subject in it. When I print out a one page e-mail, it will end up 15 pages. An e-mail that came in with "No Subject" ended up with many other e-mails with "No Subject" embedded in it. If I reply to an e-mail in my in-box, it automatically is filed off now and I have to find it if I want to also send a separate reply to someone else and then they are all embedded in the e-mail. How do I turn this off? I am in "Hotmail" and it is Mushrooming instead of Compacting - Everytime I open an e-mail, it has a string in it and also has a string in the same e-mail in the Send Box or if I have filed it for future replies from me.

Without knowing what email application, no idea
