How do I synchronize outlook.ost with the Microsoft Exchange Serve
I am running Outlook 2002 SP3 on Win XP Pro SP1. I plan to upgrade to SP2,
but I haven't done it yet. Under Tools | Send/Receive Settings, I have checked Make This Folder Available Offline. I recently moved a large number of messages from my Inbox to a Personal Folder which is not stored on the Exchange Server, but instead is stored on a separate server and backed up on a flash drive on my own computer. This reduced the size of my Outlook Today mailbox on the Exchange Server to 246 MB -- counting both Inbox and Sent Items as indicated via Tools | Mailbox Cleanup | Ckick here to see the size of your mailbox. However, my outlook.ost file remains at 555 MB. |

How do I synchronize outlook.ost with the Microsoft Exchange Serve
Outlook will compact the .ost file as it finds free time on your machine.

How do I synchronize outlook.ost with the Microsoft Exchange S
I thought so, too, but this did not occur over the course of the past day.
However, shortly after posting my query, I discovered Knowledge Base article 289987. Method 2 took about 3 hours, but it worked. Now my outlook.ost file is 274 MB.
