Exchange Journal Store not shrinking

Hello, We just installed an EV 9.0.1 environment for Exchange 2007 servers. We started archiving of the Journal and half of the journal is now archived however the Exchange store is not giving up...

    EV is taking mails out of exchange, not doing the maintenance.

    You should perform an online defrag first. The eventviewer will show how much space has been freed (whitespace, I believe event 2221).

    When the journal mailbox is close to empty, move it from that store (keep archiving!), then defrag offline, then move mailbox back.

    That will keep space low.
