Subject: PCWorks: gargantuan PST file
I have a friend who has somehow allowed his outlook 2k pst file to swell to
almost 500mb. He's backed all necessary letters and contacts and deleted
the rest, but the file is still almost 500mb in size. He's up in the
Canadian arctic so he's rather long distance and I can't vouch for any file
sizes. Can he safely delete the pst file and then reintroduce the saved
messages and/or contacts later? I use 2k for scheduling alone and so I
don't have such an issue.
Any idea's?
