Save email file to another harddrive? (Outlook)

[cv643d]

I wonder if you can setup Outlook so that it saves email on another location, for example on an external USB harddrive. I know the email file is buried deep inside "my documents" folder on XP and I want to change location so that all my data files are on a separate harddrive.

There should be an option in Outlook (under Options) that changes the location of the store folder. I've done this a few times without any major problem. Keep in mind that Outlook doesn't move files that are already in the directory (at least, I don't think that Outlook 2k did; 2003 might for you) so you might have to move those files yourself. Just watch where those files are located and copy paste them into the new directory. Should work.
