Outlook Express

Help!. Just lately, everytime I close outlook express I get an infuriating message, 'To free up disc space, outlook express can compact messages. This may take a few minutes'.
You only get the option of yes or cancel. Iv'e looked in tools, options and looked in every box, maintenance etc, but cannot see any obvious reference to this message.
Any one got any ideas?

    Try File, Folder, Compact or Compact All Folders. Help will give more information.

    You should periodically back up your files anyway, which can be found in Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder.
