How do I compact the Archive folder in Outlook 2000? I deleted a lot of
messages in it but the size has not changed. Using Advanced Personal Folders properties does not seem to compact the archive. Roger |

Why don't you start using a new archive file? What is the current size
of the archive file? Try to keep your .pst files under 2 GB. Roger wrote: How do I compact the Archive folder in Outlook 2000? I deleted a lot of messages in it but the size has not changed. Using Advanced Personal Folders properties does not seem to compact the archive. Roger |

The file is only 0.5G but it is on a very old machine so this is 1/4 of all
storage. Starting another file is a good idea but I still would like to know how to reduce the size of the current archive file. I know that I can delete a large fraction on the messages but don't know how to get the file to shrink if I do that. Roger wrote in message oups.com... Why don't you start using a new archive file?

The right-click its root, choose Properties, click Advanced, then click Compact Now. -- Brian Tillman |

showing. Roger "Brian Tillman" wrote in message ... Roger x@y wrote: Starting another file is a good idea but I still would like to know how to reduce the size of the current archive file.
