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.

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?
