Yes, it can be compacted.  you have to:
 
1) Right click on the very top level folder ("Outlook today" on my machine).
That will open a right click menu.
2) Click "Properties" which will open a dialog form.
3) Click the Advanced button
4) Click "Compact now"
5) Wait 4 or 5 hours if the file is very large.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone in this group knows that answer to either of
my two Outlook questions:
 
1. Can your inbox (or any other folder) be sorted by unread (bold) messages?
just as you can by date, subject line, or "From"? A co-worker of mine wanted
to know how to do this.
 
2. Can Outlook be compacted? I have a co-worker that literally has thousands
of emails in each folder, and he periodically will go through and delete
some of these messages. I was just wondering if Outlook would benefit from a
"compact" or even if it even has that ability. I cannot seem to find
anything in any of its menus though :(
 
Sorry for the OT.
