Default 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.

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...mail .desktop

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

[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.

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

Well. Outlook Express never appears in add-remove. Trying to uninstall it
was the first thing I attempted when the proble occured.

Reference:
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...57776713086a00
(11Sept-09 &ff)

Were you looking in Add/Remove Programs or Add/Remove Windows Components?

QED: In your reply on 12 Sept-09, you told us that clearing the checkbox for
OE in CONTROL PANEL | INDEXING OPTIONS | MODIFY corrected the problem. Is
that checkbox rechecked now?

QED: Does the behavior persist if you uninstall Windows Desktop Search via
Add/Remove Programs?

It never does appear in "Add/Remove Programs". It appears in the sidebar
option to "Add/Remove Windows Components". As stated by PA Bear.

And then AFAIK that only removes ACCESS to it - it doesn't actually
uninstall OE because it's an integral part of IE6....
