Outlook 2003 directories on another drive

[PAijtink]

Hi, all these years I have used Netscape as my E-Mail. There I had the
possability to have a special drive just for my e-mail.
Now I want to use Outlook 2003 and would like to put it on the same drive in
order to keep my c-drive clean.
I am sure there is somebody who has an idea, without toooooo many difficult
steps.
Thanks beforehand for any good answer )

Just locate your personal folders file (usually outlook.pst, but in
file/data files you get the complete path) and move it to another location
while Outlook is closed. On re-opeing Outlook will ask where its file is,
select the new position and data file.

Follow Mr. Quester's advice, but be aware that there are a significant
number of files that Outlook _requires_ on your C drive. They'll be in
%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook and
%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook and they
must remain there. See http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm
