Outlook 2013 pst/ost Mail data File Migration implementation

When you use Outlook 2013 to create a new email account, its data file (. ost file) is always saved under the C disk default directory "C:\Users\ username \appdata\local\microsoft\outlook", which occupies the space of C disk. When you enter Outlook by default, you find the location where the. ost file is saved in the Settings option, which appears to be impossible to modify. The author of a series of search on the Internet, how to modify the default OST storage location, according to the online approach, we have the control panel inside the "Mail" to modify, I tried, found no relevant options under win8+office2013; Some said to modify the registry, add " Forceostpath "key value, or not.

After several rounds, the author finally found a feasible and easy solution, the effect of looking at the picture:

　　

The specific operation process is as follows:

1, download "Office Customization Tool (OCT)" Microsoft official download page: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id= 35554, everyone according to their own operating system version of the choice of 32 or 64 bits, or click this download 32 bits, click this download 64 bit. I use 64 digits, followed by 64-bit as an example to explain.

2, after downloading, run 64-bit "Admintemplates_64bit.exe", will prompt you to choose to extract folder, find a folder decompression can, such as d:\tmp;

4, into the D:\tmp folder you unzipped, into the ADMX folder, copy the "outlk15.admx" File and "ZH-CN" folder to "C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions", if your system disk is not C, please modify your own letter ；

　　

4, Win key +r, enter "gpedit.msc" start Group Policy, as shown in the following figure, modify the path.

　　

　　

5, after the above configuration. When you add a new mail account in Outlook 2013, its mail ost is stored in the directory you specify. However, it is not valid for an existing mail account (since there is no Group Policy configured before), you can only delete the existing mail account and then add it again (note the relevant backup during the process).
