Search Index per profile or per PST ?
Thanks for your reply. So just to be sure we understand each other correctly: you are saying that if the same PST (and/or online mailbox) is in two profiles then its search index is effectively created twice and its index occupies twice the space?
Here is what I have experienced, clients who have a profile setup with a few email accounts that need a new profile, I tell them to leave Outlook open all night/into the morning so it will index. Not exactly sure if that doubles the index, it might. So deleting the other profile would slim that down. I never delete profiles for clients due to data it holds that might need to be collected later. I leave that to the client to decide and only in a few times in my 30 year career has other profiles needed to be deleted.
