Exporting journaled mailboxes to PST doubles size - 3.Aug.2011 7:13:08 AM

Hi,

I have a requirement to archive e-mail for a specific group of mailboxes. I do this by enabling journalling for these mailboxes to defined journal mailboxes. Then I have a weekly task to export the contents of these mailboxes to PST.

The problem is that when the journal mailbox gets exported to PST, it doubles in size. If I open the PST then compact it, it reverts back to its usual size. I would like to avoid this manual step as there are a number of these mailboxes and I'd like it to be completely automated.

Has anyone come across this before?

Thanks,
Ryan
