PST does not show all files

**Gavin** · April 24th 06, 11:19 PM posted to microsoft.public.outlook

Hope someone can help me out here, I have a PST that is about 600MB when
looking at the pst in explorer. However when I open it up in Outlook it only
show 547MB. The problem that I have is I am missing alot of e-mails which
kind of adds up to the missing 50MB. Does anyone have any ideas what could
have happened and how do I get the full 600MB to show up.

Thanks
Gavin...

You do not understand Microsoft math.
600 = 547
Explorer reports white space differently that Outlook.
Those are identical file sizes. It's like tuning musical instruments. If
you're only off by a bit, that's called "close enough for Jazz."
This is "close enough for Microsoft."
