Moving outlook .pst
To use another PST file and set it to be the default for your current
installation of Outlook, you will first need to know the location and name
of the PST file you'd like to use as your new default. Then use the
following directions:
- File menu Open Personal Folders file migrate to the new PST file
location to open it
- Right-click on the root of the new set of folders in the folder pane (View
Folder List)
- Choose Properties
- Check the "Deliver POP mail" box
- Quit & restart Outlook
- Now you can Close the PST file that you were previously using (R-click on
that pst folder while in Folder View and select "Close foldername
Folders"). If you have any information in your former PST that you'd like to
transfer to your new default PST, you can drag and drop from one to the
other before you close the old one.

Russ,
Yes I am using Internet onlu mode.
I know where the .pst is, that is not the problem. What I'm am not clear
on
is how to tell Outlook to use a different .pst by DEFAULT. That's the bit
towards the end of the Knowledge Base document that says "Move the .pst
file
to another location"
Outlook 2000 works just fine with 2007. I am using it because I do not
have
Outlook 2007.
Thanks
Napo

No wonder. If you're using Internet Mail Only mode, it does not use
profiles. Are you? If so, you must open Outlook and examine the
properties
of your PST file so that you can find it on your hard drive.
I would not expect Outlook 2000 to function very well with Office 2007.
Why
are you using it?
