Outlook - PersonalFolders.pst - File Growing!

Sep 18, 2004 7:57PM PDT

Please can some clever reader help and advise how I can delete old e-mails and get them out of the Outlook Personal Folder.pst altogether (Microsoft Office 2000 Outlook Program). Deleting to Deleted Folder and then deleting from there makes no difference to the SIZE of the Personal Folders.pst file. With MS Outlook Express you CAN delete only the Deleted Folder, which is then regenerated but not with Outlook 2000.
I could start again of course but I don't want to loose my existing e-mails and personalised folder system
Thanks, Please help!
