Hi Everyone,

Does compacting the Outlook .OST file change anything in the Deleted Items, Sent Items and other custom folders?

Does it delete any emails that are currently in Deleted Items folder?

Thanks in advance for the insights!

    No, it only reclaims "white space". No items within the store will be affected.
