Personnaly I thought 2003 was a great improvement over 2k
Any way, I dont know any particular method of doing what you want.
You are presumably aware of the pst size issues in 2k, which I guess is why
you seek to reduce the size, are you not using the Archive options?


Certain things may be a bit nicer but other things just are not.
Personal preference is what most of it boils down to.

..Yup re the size. 'course I knew about it. It's never been an issue
and I found it through researching O2K throughout the years and not
through it ever coming up as a problem. The day I have to worry about
the size limitation in O2K is the day I'm getting _way_ too many
emails at home and/or too many attachments!! It just doesn't happen.

Well, I'll keep looking. There are so many add-ons and such that
perhaps I'll find something eventully.

What version of Outlook are you using?


Oops, sorry, O2K.

I keep trying out my OL2003 and just keep uninstalling it and coming
back to this one. g

Is there another way to access the information? I've always found the
way the data is displayed too difficult to read (for my eyes). This
would be much more acceptable if we could sort by largest-to-smallest
folder or vice versa.

It would be nice to be able to have the information sorted by size so
that we could more easily know at a quick glance which folders to go
back to to start removing attachments or even emails from to reduce
size.

What alternatives are there, even if in 3rd party software? Some sort
of viewer of this data even. I've been searching and searching but
haven't found anything so far.
