| 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.

||
||| 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?
|||
||| thanks,
