Eddie,
It appears as though this user has deleted whatever was in the PST.
PST's do not decrease in size. After files are deleted, you have to run the
compaction utility to reduce the size of the PST. So in effect, the file
size could be 9 MB's with nothing in the file.... Until the utility is run.

Hi list members
Can any one give me a clue on what happens?
My environment: Exchange 2000 server and Outlook2000 on win2k workstation.
One of my user has create his own personal folder 'Friends' and place it
under the 'Deleted Items' folder ( I really don't know why, but a user is a
user )
He tried to achieve the 'Feiends' information and the whole archive process
created a 9MB .pst file on his local machine.
He tried to retrieve information from this .pst file to a separate new
folder by using File->Open->Personal Folder files or Import/Export and what
he achieved is after the file open or Import process, he has a new folder
structure 'Deleted Items->Friends' under his new folder location and inside
Friends, there is no message at all. But his .pst file is around 9MB so
there has got to be a lot of info/messages inside.
Any clue?
Many thanks
Eddie
