Well, a couple of things could account for it. 1. Single Instance storage 2. Mew mail came in that replaced the deleted mail over the 15 day deleted items retention period.
If you have mailbox limits in place why bother with this type of housekeeping? I haven't run an offline defrag to recover whitespace more than a half dozen times total and I've touched a number of Exchange servers in that time. -----Original Message----- From: naveen To: Exchange Discussions Sent: 2/2/2002 6:02 PM Subject: IS Offline defrag- Mystery Hi, After cleanning up 2 GB of mails from a database of 7.7 GB(through Outlook 2000)and defrag the IS-PRIV offline ,we could only recover upto 500 MB.Last time(4 months ago) when we did similar excercise we could recover upto 2GB of space from 6.2 GB database.
