How to re-locate the Outlook *.pst-folder ?

[Peter Insold]

My emails.pst file is growing and growing. So I want to relocate the folder where Outlook autoarchives it's
emails to another directory.
Unfortuantely I did not found an entryfield in Outlook where I can change the location.

Furthermore moving the other archive.pst file is not possible because there seems to be a lock from Outlook on it.

Moving the archive PST to another directory won't affect its size or the
size of your main PST. Why bother? Just make a new archive PST in the same
folder as the old one.

change the location.

File>Archive allows you to specify the name and path of the archive file.

Furthermore moving the other archive.pst file is not possible because
there seems to be a lock from Outlook on it.

Close Outlook first.
