Unable to compact personal folders - Outlook 2000 Sp3

[Fabian]

Hi,

I am currently using outlook 2000 Sp3. My PST file is about 1.3 Gb and I am
trying to compress it. Right click on Personal Folders Properties--> Click
Advanced --> Click Compact Now

The window appears "Compacting Now" and disappears within 2-3 seconds. And
then nothing happened. Can someone tell me what is going on?

I am not connect to any Exchange server. I am just using the POP and SMPT
for internet email.

HELP!!

It could be that it's already compressed to its minimal size. What size is
indicated when you rightclick on Outlook Today-> Properties-> button Folder
Size...?

Then you've already compressed it to its minimal size.
