PST file

[Alberto Brivio]

Dear All,

I have experienced this kind of problem.
I have an Outlook installed long time ago, and now the PST file is near the
partition capacity, so I would like to move folders, messages, and rules to
another bigger partition.
Anyone of you could give me an help in order to make this "move" without
any loss of data (rules in particular)



Kind Regards

Alberto Brivio

For Outlook 98 & 2000

- If the folder list is not visible, select View > Folder List.
- For each root folder, right click and select properties
- Select Advanced button.
- Note pathname/filename. (For the one that starts with Outlook Today
make a special notation)
- Click OK twice
- For each root folder that doesn't start with outlook today.
- Right click and select Close
- Close Outlook and any other mapi enable apps.
- Move all PSTs noted from above.
- Start Outlook.
- You will be presented with an error about the missing file and given a
change to locate it.
- Use the File Open dialog to locate the moved PST file. (Use the one that
we made a special notation for)
- Outlook will complain about the change in location and offer to rebuild
the outlook bar. Let it.
- Use File > Open > Personal Folder to open remaining PST files.
- Double check your Rules, since these have a tendency to get munged.


NOTE: The Journal get munged as well. At this time there is no way to
correct the links.
