Outlook 2003 and .pst file size.

B

Hi all,

My .pst file has reached 1.7mb and this is a pain when I take my .pst file
with me on the road. Having to transfer 1.7Gb just takes to long. So i
decided to go through all my old emails and have a clean up.

I deleted heaps of stuff and then deleted it all out of the deleted items
folder but the .pst file size is still 1.7Gb. Why?

Thanks in advance
Ben

Because after you remove a bunch of items, you need to run a compact.
(Right click on Outlook Today/Personal Folders and select properties.
Select Advanced. Select Compact now and be prepared to wait a while if you
remove a lot of items.)
