How do you change the default location of an IMAP PST.
I'm running windows 7 and office 2010. I've decided to setup an IMAP account so I can check email with my laptop using apple mail (it's a mac) while still being able to check emails with my desktop using outlook. Setting both accounts up as IMAP attached to the same gmail account made the most sense so i can have an up-to-date inbox and folders no matter what i do on each machine.
Originally i thought the whole idea of an IMAP account was to not have a PST and to have everything stored on the server. Come to find out outlook still saves the information in a PST located here: C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
I'm okay with it saving a PST and updating that PST based off of what the server has, I don't like this PST being on my C drive. I have a RAID drive that is backed up and i'd much rather put it there.
I can't change the default location. Okay, i take that back i can change where that PST shows up but outlook just creates another PST back on the C drive.
My question is how can i have outlook look at a particular pst on another drive (local) and still have it treat that very pst as an IMAP account (meaning it updates it automatically based off what the server says i have).
I'm lost...
