I don't know about IMAP but the pst file can be moved.

Before you open Outlook move the pst file to the location you want it to be,
then open Outlook. Outlook will give you a message that it can not locate
the file and you can browse to the new location. This method may work with
other type of files, but I do not know that.

AFAIK, IMAP .pst files cannot be moved.

After furious head scratching, Russ asked:

| Hi: I'm running Outlook 2003 and have configured an e-mail account to
| access my AOL e-mail via IMAP. Works fine. But, I can't change the
| location Outlook uses for its associated PST file.
|
| It uses "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application
| Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlookimap.aol.com-00000002.pst" and refuses
| to let me move it.
|
| I want the PST file to reside on another hard drive with the other PST
| files I use.
|
| How can I move this PST file so that Outlook can still use it with my
| AOL imap?
