I know Windows Mail allows one to change the Message Store location, has
anyone done this with success, i.e., not screwing up the existing data in
one's folders? I think in an older Windows OS (95, or 98?) I did this and
got some corruption and data loss. Or maybe I'm just not remembering right.
A recent scare where I thought I'd lost the entire boot drive and all data
on it has me thinking that I should change the message store to my other
HDD.
If it works perfectly well to change the location, is there a best practice
to make the change, concerning keeping existing folders and messages?
I Googled for it and se posts of people who've had issues doing such a
change. I suppose as a last resort I could just periodically copy the data
to an optical disk for safety.
