how to shrink OST file?
I just moved a bunch of items to my archive folder, but my ost file remained the same size. Do these changes take a while to be reflected by the server? do OST files not shrink?
Also, i copied a bunch of files from one PST to another, and it also did not shrink.

I would say yes and yes.
>> sorry, I did drag and drop them, so that moved them, correct?
Yes, dragging and dropping moves the emails. All you have do now is compact the file.

jjacksn, you need to compact the folder to gain the space savings. Any update?

If I tell the OST compact itself, does that also work?
