Auto compact PSTs in Outlook 2003

[Kolin Tregaskes]

Can you set up Outlook 2003 to auto-compact your PSTs? When I move mail out
of the PST and into another PST it seems to compact (or at least the PST
goes down in file size), but deleting mail doesn't seem to compact it.

Are you emptying the deleted folder? If so, outlook begins compacting when
the "white space" reaches approx. 20% - which should be the same threshold
used when you move items out.
