Outlook 2000 compact pst problem

[Ho]

Dear all,

My Outlook 2000 is running Internet Mail Mode, my pst file is now 1.2GB. I
removed some mails and compact the file. The 'compact now' dialog box show 1
second and finished, but the file size did not reduce.

Anyone can help me?

Did you empty your trash first ?

You keep too many and/or too large emails.
View all mail folders and sort by size.
Delete extremely large emails / attachments.
Delete all items in folder Deleted Items.
Run Compact again.

Thanks all.

The mailbox contains thousands of mails including many .tif files from fax.
They are average in size and none of them >50MB.

I'd moved half of them to another pst file, so they will not in the Deleted
Items.
