What release of Exchange? Moving the mailbox to a different database would force a recomputation of the item counts and folder sizes. If that's not possible, make a backup of the database. Dismount the database and run isinteg with the "-test mailbox" or '-test alltests" parameter. That will also recompute the item counts and folder sizes. Is it safe to assume, given the "different PCs" comment, that Outlook is not using cached mode and an OST file? --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

The PST keeps two copies of each message. One in plain text, the other in RTF. PST = Poor Storage Technique --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

I am curious to hear what ExBPA told you (-:, since I was getting ready to say leave it alone why bother for such little difference? ocd "Tom Karpowski" <tkarpowski(a)bennettcompany.com> wrote in message news:#NC9Iit6KHA.5112(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > I ran ExBPA and it told me how to fix it.... > I like this tool...! > > "Tom Karpowski" <tkarpowski(a)bennettcompany.com> wrote in message > news:ueWQN3w5KHA.5016(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> I have a user with a 215 MB mailbox(according to Outlook on different >> PCs) yet my Exchange 2K3 ESM says her mailbox is 366 MB. >> What's the recommendation to fix it...? >> Thanks, Tom... > |
