PST and compression

[kd]

Hello All:
I am trying to find a way to programmatically compress Outlook's PST file.
This code would essentially perform the same as the "compress now" button on
the properties\advanced page.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

Try compressing the size of PST files by following the below steps:

1. Open Outlook application and delete unwanted items by opening folder list
2. Go to navigation tab and right click on Delete items folder > Empty Folder
3. Click on File tab > Account Settings > Account Settings
4. Select Data Files tab > Settings > Compact Now
