Hello all,

Just a quick question. I have been archiving my email every now and then to
keep my pst file size down. I just noticed that when I archive my main PST
does not decrease in size. Any reason why it's like that?

Thanks,
Jay
 
Probably because Outlook hasn't had sufficient idle time for the automatic .pst compression routine to kick in.
