  • Close Outlook
  • Create a folder where you want to put the IMAP datafile
  • Copy the PST file with the name of your IMAP profile from C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook to the desired location (eg the new created folder)
  • Afterwards, Click Start / Run and type "Regedit" (You'll need administrator rights for this)
  • Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook
  • Add a REG_EXPAND_SZ (Expandable String Value) with the name: ForcePSTPath
  • Fill in your new folder
  • Delete the mail account
