Outlook 2003 - IMAP folder vs personal folder

[Evan Graj]

Hello,

I am using MS outlook 2003 and interfacing it with gmail via IMAP. I
set up a new mail profile and assign to it a personal folder on my D
drive. However, when I configure the default profile to use IMAP, it
creates another mail folder on my C drive. I'd like all emails etc..
to be on the same personal folder loacted on my D drive which gets
backed up. The C drive is only for applications. I have tried
several things includeing closing outlook and then moving the file
from C to D and then restarting outlook. When I did this, everything
works except I am getting a pop up when trying to send/recieve that
says "The Operation failed due to a registry or instalation problem.
Restart Outlook and try again. If the problem persists, please
reinstall."

Can you please advise if what I am trying to do will work? Any help
is appreciated.

Evan

IMAP reflects the folders on the server and so cannot be located in an
ordinary pst file. Besides, you already HAVE a "backup" - the GMail server.
