(Under W98SE, running O2K SR-1 with SP3 applied.)
I really want to reduce the size of my PST file.
In Outlook, I created a new personal folders file and named it "My Archive".
From my main personal folders file, I then selected certain folders and
messages - altogether, 57 MB - which I want to archive. I moved these into
the "My Archive" folders file.
In Outlook, looking at properties, I see these results after archiving:
Main PST file: Total size (Fld + SubFld): 150489K
"My Archive" file: Total size (Fld + SubFld): 56397K
In Windows explorer, I see these results:
Main PST file, before archiving: 284 MB
Main PST file, after archiving: 282 MB
"My Archive" PST file, after archiving: 58 MB.
I move nearly 57 MB out of my main folders file, and the file size dropped
by only 2 MB !!!!!
Why?
