Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly but I could have sworn back in my
Outlook 2002 days, that I could change the default location of the PST
files. While I know I can make a copy of my current pst file and keep it
on one of my external drives for safety, it's certainly a pain in the neck
to have to recopy it literally every day. Is there any way I can change
the default location for the outlook.pst?

Thanks,
Tim

PS Oops, forgot to mention I'm now using Outlook 2007

Hi Tim,

Is this for IMAP?
Or do you just mean the standard PST file? That one can be moved. The
easiest way is to close Outlook fully, then move the file via Windows
Explorer. When you open Outlook again, it will ask you where to find the
file. Select it and you should be good to go.

had been told do get the job done. Works perfectly.
