you need to do it twice. the second time make sure the indicated path is correct. vista is know to mess it up.

How do I move my mail folders to another drive on the harddisc?

I tried this procedure but it doesn't work. I even tried to start Windows
mail as an admin. I can do it twice or ten times it comes back to the default
folder. Looks like a bug.. Any suggestion or fix ? Thanks
 
I don't know if you can move to another drive.
The store folder location in the Registry is %USERPROFILE%\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\
You may be able to hack the Registry.
Try at you own risk.

Finaly it works : but after doing this you have to not only leave Windows
mail but also eventually kill any "winmail.exe" process that's remaining(alt
ctrl suppr + task manager + process) . It was the problem
Thanks
