Want to move Windows Mail files from C drive

I am on Windows Vista home premium and my C drive is almost full. This is
effecting the system performance. I have already deleted whatever files I
could have. Now I want to transfer the Windows Mail files & folders away from
C drive, say to my E drive where about 30 GB of space is available.

Please help!
Thanks,
Ribhu

Re: Want to move Windows Mail files from C drive

Go to Tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance and click on the Store Folder
and then click Change. Then browse to the E drive and set a subdirectory
(create a new one called WMStore for instance) as the location for the
message store. Then close WinMail. Wait a little and the reopen it and it
will then move the message store to that location. Do NOT move anything
yourself. Just let WinMail do it as I indicated. You may want to back
things up first (see www.oehelp.com/backup/)
