I have an 80 gig hard drive with two partitions, a 15 gig partition for the OS (XP) and a 65 gig partition for everything else. After a year and some change I am down to 2 gig free on the OS partition and I am sure it is my email (a years worth of saved work emails which I need to hang on to)

My question is this, how do I transfer my outlook with all of my settings and saved emails to the other partition so I can free up space on my OS partition?

Probably safer to move chunks of email to psts, maybe grouped in months and just move them to bigger partition.
They of course should be backed up somewhere too.
PSTs should be no larger than 1.5 gig for safety, they do fail.

But alas, I dont care who you are, it boggles my mind that all this data is needed.
If this is an office environment, then IT dept. should assist you, maybe save it all to a network share.

Just my 2 cents
