I have WinXP Pro SP2 with Outlook 2003 and just installed MSN's Outlook
Connector.
The email account does NOT have advanced settings that other MAPI-like
accounts would offer.
I would like to move the OST file that was created in "%USERPROFILE%\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook".

I've tried moving it and re-opening Outlook to have it first complain it
couldn't find an OST file and then to offer a browser to locate the new
location of the file ... but that didn't work.

Does anyone know how to move an OST properly?

Thanks!

Thanks, but that won't work.
In Outlook 2003, the GUI offers to view/edit an existing account.
Choosing the MSN Outlook Connected account offers only one form thereafter:
Display name, Email Address and Password.
There are no advance options thereafter.

Then I suspect it can't be done.
