I do not have much installed but I would like to compress to gain some extra memory.

Not recommended.

The process would be to "copy" those files say your SD card then UPX them. Then you'd copy them to \windows overwriting the originals.

BUT...

- Make sure you keep originals or you're screwed.
- Compressing tmail.exe will break it e.g. can't be done
- Doing system files is dangerous and I'd only do 1 at a time
- This is probably not worth it

You can compress the messaging app for Threaded SMS though...
