[nfbcs] Outlook Question

[Rasmussen, Lloyd]

I set up Outlook so that it doesn't empty its Deleted Items folder on exit.  So it's a good idea, in the working PST file and in the archive, to do Alt-T, Y to empty the Deleted Items folder from time to time.  Check the size of your main PST file from time to time.  On an XP PC with 1 GB of RAM, I was using a PST file 700 MB in size.  I hadn't set up the archive properly.  Receiving e-mail was painfully slow under these conditions, since the whole PST couldn't fit in RAM.  This is with Outlook 2003 at home.

Subject: [nfbcs] Outlook Question

 
For a long time I used Outlook Express at home and Outlook at work. When Outlook Express wanted to reorganize its folders to save space, it would ask or I could tell it I wanted it to do the job. With Outlook, since it ran on an exchange server, Any maintenance required were done by folks who maintained our email system.
 
Now I am using 2003 at home. Other than archiving from time to time, is there anything I should do to reorganize the folders and free unused space?
Also, if I want to move my Outlook files to a second machine, must I move more than the PST files to get my folders?
