Yes we have several users who freaked out when their hard drives were constantly active for "no reason". After forcing a foreground compression the activity stopped. This was a long time ago - I don't remember the version of outlook.

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.

Now if you had a util to undelete deleted PST email.... Cheers Paul Standards are like toothbrushes, everybody agrees you should have one, but no one wants to use yours -----Original Message----- From: McCready, Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 12:33 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: PST files Exchange 5.5 SP4, Outlook 98, NT 4.0 SP6. 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.
