Re:Because many of us have to fix it (Score 1)

Going into further annoying-as-hell detail about PST files... in Outlook when you "archive" your Personal Folder the size of your primary PST file does not decrease. You have to manually compress the file after you archive. Which just blows my mind - the fact that it does not "compress" your primary PST file in the archiving step. Last year I lost two year's worth of emails because I did not know this fact. Partially my fault though, I had no backup plan.
