Storage folders

Where are the storage folders stored on my computer? Can they be stored in a
different place?
Thanks, Debbie

To the end that in Outlook Express and Outlook you were able to specify the
location of the storage folder so that it could be in a folder in My
Documents which enabled simple backing up of all data (ie backing up just the
My documents folder), instead of having to delve into the bowels of Windows
in orde rot find out where tghe address book, in box etc. were.

I don't think you could successfully have Storage folders (the ones where
you keep stuff that isn't synchronized with a server somewhere) anywhere
other than in your Message store. However, you *can* specify the location of
the Message store at Tools > Options > Advanced > Maintenance > Store folder
(confusing nomenclature again* - they might sort it out by RTM, but I'm not
holding my breath). Mine is a folder called My Mail alongside My Pictures
etc. on my Documents drive.

* "Message store" is used variously to mean the entire Windows Live Mail
folder containing messages and the database file called Mail.MSMessageStore
within that folder, whereas the settings dialogue mentioned above calls it
Store folder, not to be confused with Storage folders, which were once
called Local folders and which also live in the message store called Store
folder in a folder called "On this com a1b" or some other abbreviation of
"On this computer", which was Storage folders' maiden name.
