Generally, during the initial configuration of Outlook, I simply have it be in My Documents. Then the PST file gets backed up with all my other documents. No special steps are needed.

where is that folder view. When i open outlook, theres File/Edit/Go/Tools/Action/Help

Where i should start?

Didn't think I put that Folders View in such large red letters !!

If you look in Go, there is an option for Folder List.

Thanks

I'm not at your computer.

So if nothing happens then you may already be in folder list.

Do you see Personal Folder at the top in the left column?

If not, what do you see at the top in the left column?

And if you are still having trouble looking that way, go to your Mail icon in the Control Panel and note the location of your default data file.

thanks for the link. very useful.

i configure my outlook to save my inbox/calendar/etc to my partition D.

now in you link, see page 5....i created "personal folder" to my drive D (default is at drive C) and i hope that all my email will go to that folder , is that correct? or i need to set up more my outlook?

in your page 10, i change the default to my new personal folder located in drive D but i never remove the old default personal folder.
