Outlook 2003 (In cached mode) and Exchange 2003 - When I get the Folder Sizes dialog that lists each folder and size in each, There are two tabs in the Folder Sizes dialog box in the client properties in Outlook, local and server. They Show:
Local Data Total Size (including subfolders) 136855 KB Server Data Total Size (including subfolders) 83997 KB The Local is significantly larger than the Server because there are two copies of each message in the OST, one in Unicode and one in RTF. Working with Text in Rich Text Format http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/exchser v/html/infostor_8d9v.asp The body of a message in a Microsoft Exchange Server information store is kept in the PR_RTF_COMPRESSED property. As the name implies, this property contains compressed text that includes rich text formatting information. For this reason, the body of any message that will at some time be stored in a Microsoft Exchange Server information store or transmitted by Microsoft Exchange Server can most efficiently be stored in this property and not, for example, in the PR_BODY property. This section describes various ways to work with text contained within or destined for the PR_RTF_COMPRESSED property. RTF-Awareness An information store is known as RTF-aware* if it keeps the body and the RTF text of a message synchronized. The server information store and the offline folder store (OST) are RTF-aware and the personal folder store (PST) is not RTF-aware. The MAPI RTFSync function synchronizes PR_BODY and PR_RTF_COMPRESSED, ensuring that the rich text format body of a message matches the plain text body. You call this function before reading the RTF body and after modifying the RTF body. This is necessary for when working with the PST. For the server information store and the OST, you do not need perform this extra step. For information about RTF-awareness in message stores, see the MAPI Programmer's Reference. *RTF-Aware An information store is known as RTF-aware if it keeps the body and the RTF text of a message synchronized. The server-based information store and the offline folder store (OST) are RTF-aware. The personal folder store (PST) is not RTF-aware. See also About Information Store Client and Server Components.

I'm guessing you mean single instance store (SIS) but that's not what I was asking about there. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Mellott, Bill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2006 12:07 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: PST Question Try looking up SIS -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher Hummert Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2006 3:07 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: PST Question I'm looking up on the FAQ's site and I'm reading the article "Why PST=BAD". Reason #7 states "Messages take up more space in a PST than in an Exchange store." Does anyone have any more info on this. I remember someone in the past saying that when you took a message out of the exchange store and put it in a PST it would increase it by a factor of 1.25 to 1.5. Anyone know more about this or could point me to the info behind reason #7?
