Move Outlook.pst

[pepi]

Hi everybody!

I have Microsoft Outlook 2003, and I would like to move C:\Documents and
Settings\user\Configuración local\Datos de
programa\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst folder to an other path. For example:
c:\MyMails\Outlook.pst.

Has anyone any idea, how can I do?

Thanks for you help!

Close Outlook. Move the file with Windows Explorer to wherever you want
it to be. Go into control Panel, Mail, Data Files. Click the file there.
It'll bring up an error message that the file cannot be found and then
it'll bring up a window where you can browse to your new location.
That's it. Open Outlook again.
You'll have to recreate your favorite folders though.

I had not to recreate my favorite folders, they were all there, after
moving.

Thank you very much.

do they work? they should point to the old pst location and fail.
