I have followed the article with success. However, when I press F9 to send
and receive messages from all accounts, I got the following error message:
“The operation failed due to a registry or installation problem. Restart
Outlook and try again. If the problem persists, please reinstall.�

I have created a new profile and made the following experience:
- First I create and imap account, not move the imap pst file and F9 send
and receive worked fine
- Then, I have moved the imap pst file to other location and open it.
Everthing works fine, except when I press F9 send and receive all. I get the
same error message

Any suggestions besides keep the imap pst file on de default folder?

Thank you.

In my experience, you can't move an IMAP .pst file, nor can you force Outlook to create it in any folder other than the usual default.

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 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?

Well, I never use F9, so perhaps there's something in the code handling that
key that has side-effects affecting IMAP message stores when they're not in
the default location. In fact, I do not include my IMAP account in the
Send/Receive group. SO, I think your options are limited to either not
performing send/receive or leaving the IMAP store in its default location.
