No, we have Outlook2K and I still have to compress the file to get the space back.

I have heard rumor that in Outlook2K and higher, it automatically compresses the PST, but I can neither comfirm nor deny that. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 5:24 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: PST files My experience has been that if you delete data from a .pst file, you must compress the .pst file to regain the space.

We have a user who recently left the company. He has a PST file on his home drive. A user who has taken over his responsibilities wants to add the PST folder to their Outlook box. If you right click on the PST file and check properties, it says that the file is 186 MB, but when you open the folder, there's nothing in it. Originally, we received a message that "the file was in use and could not be accessed". That's when I had the current user take ownership of the file and try again. No success. The file can now be accessed, but it shows up as 0 bytes. Anybody know why? Thanks.
