Hello everyone. Scenario: Windows 2000 Updated and Exchange 5.5 service pack 4. Somethings I cant understand. I have a exchange test with only 10 users. One of them I tested with thousands of messages, and the mailbox size for it got 255Mbs. After that I look at the priv.edb size and it was about 260Mb. I cleaned all the messages for that user with clean malibox utility. Then I stopped the services and did run eseutil /d /ispriv and I started the services. The priv.edb keeps its original size tough, something about 256Mb. Can anyone tell me what I am missing? I hoped the size was much less than that. The other mailbox sizes are almost zero bytes.
