you're right, 2007 beta 2 still have this problem too. I just wonder
why dont MS give us an option to choose where to put our data. Put
everything in C drive is such a dangerous thing when you have to live
with virus and worms

I have used the instructions here to move an IMAP PST:

I followed the instruction, but at step 11 when I click OK, there was no
error message, and a new pst file was created automatically in the default
location (I moved the old one to new place as instructed).

Thanks anyway for your reply!
Cheers,

Well, I just tried it again and it worked perfectly. Are you sure Outlook
was closed before you started? Did you look in Task Manager to make sure?

I did close Outlook, otherwise I could not be able to move the pst file due
to access violation. But anyway I've just found out what the problem was. I
did the process again step-by-step and at each step I watched the default
location to see if the pst file would be created again, and as I guessed,
when I finished step 7 and click Data Files, the pst file was created again.
After that I delete the pst file in the original location, an YES, it
notified me the pst file could not be found and let me choose new location .

Thanks again, without your sussgestion, I would not have solved this
problem. I think MS should create a new KB article which adds 1 more step
between step 7&8: delete the pst file manually

There's no need for that step. Following the article exactly does the job.
I proved it to my own saisfaction twice.
