Hello all, basically i've just got a new SSD drive and have MS Office 2010 installed on it. I don't have a normal POP3 email account for it however I used to have my Gmail configured on it.

However, as i've now only got a 64gb boot drive when I tried to setup my gmail account it started pulling down all the data from it as it sync'd the mailboxes up which I don't want it to do as I want to reserve as much space on the boot drive as possible.

I've got a 1TB storage drive connected, is there any way to set Outlook up to make it use that drive as the drive to store the Gmail account stuff? I had a look at the OST's and PST's but just wanted some clarification on whether its just as easy as letting it download everything to my boot drive, and then move the pst file after its been created to my other drive and it will continue updating it there?

Not sure if that makes much sense!
 
You could let it download everything to the C drive pst, close Outlook, move the pst to your HDD and then when you start up Outlook it MAY ask where the missing pst is and you can browse to the new location and your sorted. It may however just create another pst and download everything again.

I see, I think I may just give this a go anyway!
