Change where mail are svaed

Hi,
Is it possible to change the place where Windows mail save the mail files?
If so how?
Thanks

Yes. You can select another location on an internal disk drive (no
external).

Tools - Options - Advanced - Maintenance - Store folder

All messages in WM will be moved (actually copied).

That has been confusing me for some time. I have the WM files stored on a
separate partition, which I have always done on previous versions of
windows. However, when I do a "C" drive defragment, I see it going through
the WM folders, which I thought were on a separate partition. So are you
saying that there are actually two copies of WM files on my computer now?
Thanks,
Dick

Yes, there will be email messages, etc. in 2 locations. But new messages
will only go into the current location, AFAIK.
