If neither #1 or #2 work - simplest solution is to simply ensure that your PST file is located on your hard drive, create a new Outlook profile (new = from scratch - not copying one that exists), configure your POP account along with setting it to use an existing PST file instead of it letting Outlook create a new one.

I am using Outlook as my email client to connect via pop3 to my email provider.

I noticed that the default location for the data (.pst) file is within my Documents Folder - this was of no consequence to me until...I set up OneDrive and linked my Documents Folder to it.

All the files uploaded to OneDrive successfully, but the next time I opened Outlook, it wouldn't work - as it was still looking for the original data file location within (my username)/Documents location.

'Ok', I thought...I'll move the data file out of my Documents Folder...but even though it allowed me to move it, Outlook wouldn't accept the new location as a valid one.

'Ok' I thought (again), I'll use the Contact Support App and ask an expert...I spoke with one who said 'Of course it's possible to move the data file', so I allowed him access to my Laptop, he did exactly what I had done and then said 'hmmmm' when it didn't work for him too!

So...I am asking here - is it possible to move it without it affecting Outlook - and if so, how?

And if the answer is 'No', my second question would be 'How do I sync my Documents Folder to OneDrive?'
