Hello! I have created a number of new Personal Storage Folders and moved emails from my Inbox and Sent Items to those folders. Doing so obviously increased the size of the new .pst files for these folders. But, the Outlook.pst file is still the same size.

I know I can compact, and am doing that as well, but I really was thinking that creating new .pst files and moving stuff into them would reduce the Outlook.pst.

Should it have? If so, why is it not working?
