How to compress outlook.pst in Outlook 2000

[Guest]

My outlook.pst gets ever bigger despite deleting old emails & clearing out
the Deleted & Sent items folders. How do you compress the .pst file.

I notice from the knowledge base under Outlook 2003 that Control Panel |
Mail has a Data Files feature that allows a compress to be selected. That
doesn't appear in my version using MS Office 2000.

Any ideas?

you need to "compact" the PST.
