Bloated Archive PSTs
oh, you didn't mention you were archiving your exchange mailbox. That does
not use a pst (so there is not a 121 meg pst to compare it with) and yes,
the messages are much larger because of how Exchange stores messages and
attachments. An exchange mailbox store is always the smallest format.

Hi,

did you try compacting the archive pst?
Yes I did try compacting the archive PSTs. No effect of the operation.
I suspect that, method in which the mails are written to the
destination PST, on being fetched from the Exchange Server is different
from the method the same mails are archive PST.
Something related to how Outlook 2003 handles the default delivery PST
and the secondary PSTs configured in the outlook profile.
This is just a thought ...
