SYMPTOMS
When you run the Microsoft Mail Administrator program (ADMIN.EXE) and you select Admin, Folder, Compress to compress folders, the following error message may appear:

Notice 158 : Folder in use, they were not compressed.

Run Foldcomp -s if this persists.



CAUSE
This problem is caused by a semaphore lock on a folder file.



RESOLUTION
The folder that remains on the screen when the Mail Administrator program displays the Notice 158 error is not necessarily the subdirectory in which the FOLDCOMP -S command needs to be performed.

If the error persists after you run FOLDCOMP -S on the subdirectory displayed, run the FOLDCOMP -S command on all folder subdirectories.
