Perfect, thanks! Having problems with Outlook stalling and hope this helps.
Thanks for the good tip! It works in Outlook 2003 as well.

I have multiple drives and my OS/Apps drive is an SSD. The outlook OST’s constant connection to my remotely hosted exchange server made my computer stutter. By putting it back on a SATA 7200 drive, we’re back in business!
Thank you!

Hi
I have Windows XP and tried:
control panel >> Mail >> Data Files >> (select mailbox) settings >> Advanced >> offline folder File settings
the file field appears disabled. I cannot change the path.
What am I missing here?
Really help full, thanks!!!
Will NOT work with hotmail.ost files, at least those that involve the Outlook Connector, which is the only way to get IMAP with Hotmail (Live Mail just uses a different form of Connector – neither will work!)
Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for to solve my PC memory issue.
