Default Saving Folder for Contacts and Calendar events

[jdier]

I run outlook client for work email. I need to keep the IMAP folder for
mail as my default delivery folder for all of my incoming, outgoing,
sent and deleted emails, but I would like to use a local Personal Folder
for my default location for contacts and calendar items...

I have already created the personal folder with contacts, calendar, tasks
and notes subsections in it and I have put all of the items in those
folders

So, when you look at my outlook I see "Mailbox - username" (this is the
exchange server... I have empty contacts, calendar, notes and tasks, and
also my inbox, drafts, outbox, set items and deleted items.)

Below this I have "Personal Folders", where I have contacts, calendar,
notes and tasks (and this is where all of these items have been moved.)

Everything works exactly as I like with one exception.

When I save new contacts, events, tasks or notes, they all are saved to
the exchange server (in folders contained in "Mailbox - username")

So, without changing my default mail delivery location, how do I make it
so my new contacts, calendar events, tasks and notes are saved to my
"Personal Folder" instead of "Mailbox - username"?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What you want to do is not possible. You can have only one default store. There is no provision for per-module defaults.
