Compacting Mail - Advaned option missing on properties tab

[J]

Hello--

I am running Microsoft Outlook 2000 (not Express) in "internet mail only"
mode. I am trying to compact my .pst folders. I have found the following
article here.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/196890/en-us

However, when I do as it says and select a folder and right click on it,
there is no advanced option on the General Tab. I get General, Home Page,
and Auto-Archive tabs.

The General tab contains the folder name, a section that says Type: Folder
containing Mail Items, Location: Inbox and a Description field. Below that
there is a drop down selection box for When posting to this folder use:
(post, forms). At the bottom there is a chekc box for automatically generate
Microsoft Exchange views and a button for folder size. NO Advanced option.

I desperately need to compact my .pst files as I have done with other
Outlook versions in the past on other computers. Please help me.

Thanks,

J

Try it this way:

To compact the .pst file, right-click your folder's top level (Outlook Today)
then select "Properties..."
