Locating Outlook's Storage Folder

[jsquareg]

I have installed Windows 7 and, of course, lost my old friend Outlook
Express. So I have switched to Outlook 2003 for my email. I would
like to move my Outlook Storage Folder from my System Drive (C:) to my
Data Drive (D:) as I did in Outlook Express. I can't seem to find a
way to do that. Will someone please tell me how?

Thank you.

Windows 7 has Live Mail instead of Outlook Express.

Do you mean you wish to move your PST (Outlook data file)? You don't need to
move an entire folder. With Outlook closed, locate the PST (it's located in
a hidden folder so you must enable your view of hidden files/folders in
Windows Explorer, and it also helps to enable the view of known file
extensions) and move it to the new location. When you open Outlook, it will
complain about not being able to find the PST but you can direct it to the
new location.

Thank you Kathleen. I guess I was having a terminology problem. Your
suggestion did exactly what I wanted to do.

What type of email account do you use? see
http://www.slipstick.com/config/moveimap.asp - use this method for POP3
also.

See http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/filepath.htm for the file
locations. (win7 uses the same location as Vista)

Thank you very much, Diane, for the link to Outlook Tips. I have
bookmarked it because I know I will be going there often.
