Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Internet / April 2006How to create new folder on a different drive?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! I am going to start getting quite a few large attachments and if I don't do something, my hard drive is going to fill up quickly. So what I want to do is to create a new folder on another drive where there is lots of room, and then I will have the mail rules send these emails (always from one sender) there. Simple enough.... only one thing..... I can't figure out how to create the new folder on the 2nd drive. Fred If it's ok for you to store all of your mail in this one location the easiest thing to do is to redirect your email store folder to this desired location. Tools-Options-Maintenance-Store Folder....

First backup your message store. Then create the directory on the new drive where you want the messages to be stored (e.g. d:\oestore). Then go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and set the new directory for the message store. Make sure you create the new directory first, or else OE will just destroy the old message store. steve > Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Fred Adding to Steve's advice: The new drive must be on the computer. You can't use a drive on a network.  SignatureRon Sommer > You have to move the entire store folder and not just create a new one on > the second drive.

You should look at OEX. http://www.oehelp.com/OEX/Default.aspx This program will remove attachments. SignatureRon Sommer > Thanks everyone.

You can change the directory for each Identity however. steve > Thanks everyone. To be sure I understand, that means that all stored > messages (in, out, etc., etc.) have to be on the same drive?
