Moving .pst from one drive to another in Outlook 2003

Is it possible for me to move my .pst file from my C: drive to my E: drive
(Outlook 2003 only) ?

I've found knowledgebase articles that apply to Outlook 2002 and 2007, but
those processes don't work. I get hung up when I try to delete the old one
and it tells me to go to Tools/Options e-mail account to change the default
location of delivered mail. I can't find any place to do that.

If you have the process for Outlook 2003 (or a KB article), I'd appreciate
it.

TIA

Close Outlook. BACKUP THE PST FILE.
Move the pst file from C to E (E isn't an external drive is it?)
Then re-open Outlook. it will complain it can't find the pst file. navigate
to where you copied it to...

Thanks. That was a bit too simple for me to figure out, lol, but it works.
You have to do it twice, (after you navigate the first time it complains
again and shuts Outlook down), but then just open Outlook again and it's
good to go.
