To move the location of the .pst file you have to shut down Outlook, move the file, and then reconfigure your profile so that it knows the new location. 1. Shut down Outlook, click on Start, then Control Panel (or Settings, Control Panel). Double click on the Mail icon 2. Select a profile if necessary, and then click on Properties and then Data Files to display the ‘Outlook Data Files’ dialog box. If you have only one profile, just click on Data Files… 3. Select the .pst you want to move and click Open Folder. Outlook opens the folder where the .pst is located and highlights the file’s icon. 4. Drag the file or use the clipboard (cut and paste) to move the file to the desired location. 5. Back in the Outlook Data Files dialog box, click Settings. Click OK at the error message. 6. Browse to the new location of the .pst file, select it, and click Open; then click OK. 7. Close the Outlook Data Files and Mail Setup dialog boxes.
