How to move outlook.pst?

Hi,

I know that all the outlook emails are stored in outlook.pst which is somewhere on the C drive. How can you move this file to a seperate partition while outlook continues to use this, if you get what i mean?

Thanks,
Win.

just close down outlook, move the .pst & then point outlook to the new location

I would not do it like that.

Close down Outlook.

Go to: Control Panel > Mail

Click On: Show Profiles...

Select: Outlook

Click On: Properites then Data Files...

Highlight Personal Folders and click on Settings... then you can change the location of the Outlook.pst

Also the Outlook.pst is here by default: C:\Documents and Settings\<Your Username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst
