Default Move pst-file from old server to local disk

A friend of mine used to save all her documents to her server.

For a number of reasons, she now wants to save everything to her local disk
(new pc) and get rid of the old server.

I adjusted the file location for word, excel, etc.
However outlook is not so easy to adjust.

(outlook 2003, win xp)

How can I move the pst-file to her local disk?

Thanks in advance.

Assuming your friend is using the pst file on ther server as the default
location for mail delivery, with Outlook closed, just move it! When Outlook
is re-opened it will complain that it can't find the pst file. Just navigate
to where you put it.

Never thought of that possibility.
