Hi, I use Outlook 2000 to retrieve my mails. In the previous version of Outlook 2000, when you have deleted a mail in Outlook 97, and after have emptied your "Deleted Items" folder, you have to go Control Panel to compress your mail folder, I guess. But, when I empty the Delete Items in Outlook 2000, is there a way to compress or to compact the folders like in Outlook 98 or in Outlook Express?
