Remove ABCD from Email address to reply

I want to change the location of my PST file. I know that if I move it to a
new location that when I then open up Outlook 2007 w/bcm that Outlook will
not find the PST and will ask me and I can browse to its new location. I
seem to remember reading something in a posting that this is the wrong way
and that this cause some problems.

Please advise if the above method is not the correct method and therefore
what is the correct way to relocate the PST file

There is no other method to move the pst-file to an other location. Also
this method won't cause any problems ¡X simply do it ;-)
 
The other method is to open the profile using control panel, mail and change
the location before reopening outlook. I don't know that this is all that
better than the other - it sometimes eliminates problems with the address
book.

The best way is to make a new profile pointing to the relocated pst before
ever reopening outlook. But that's a PITA and you lose some customizations.
