Hi!
I have lot of files in oulook maps.
After I deleted most of them the outlook.pst remains huge.
How to get a smaller outlook.pst?

Hi Bart,

Select the pst and select File > Folder > Properties.
On the General tab, click on Advanced
Then click on "Compact Now"

Enjoy,
Tony

Hi Tony,
Thanks for your reply.
Where to choose that outlook.pst?
-Bart
 
Hi Bart,

Select a view in the left hand pane which includes the Folder List - and select the pst in that pane - or just right click on it and select properties.

Enjoy,
Tony
