Compressing .PST

I would like to know if there is a way (an command line utility, for example) for me to compact users´ .PST during logon.

There is no utility that I know of that will compress the user's .PST's from a command line or any other method.  The only option is to move the .PST's to a compressed drive on a server.

The .PST's grow only, and contain a lot of white space.  When users delete mail, the file does not shrink, white space is created and new mail arrives it goes 'supposedly'* back into this free space.  *There are some known issues with the efficient use of this white space.
