Besides compacting under right click Personal Folders/Properties/Advanced
button/Compact, are there any other maintenance routines that are
recommended?

Thanks,

Peter

Generally no, but it might depend on your version of Outlook as to whether
there are other things you should be watching.

Then no, provided you are using the 2003 default data file, and not an
earlier version data file ported over from a previous version of Outlook.
BTW Compacting probably wont show any size reduction unless you have removed
a substantial amount of data, so dont go overboard with Compacting.
Also Archive - dont know wether this could be refered to as maintenence.

You should run the Inbox Repair Tool periodically and back up your PST file
often.
