Whereas it is quite easy to set or change the location of pst-files belonging to a POP3 account, changing the location of the ost-file for an Exchange, Outlook.com or IMAP account is much more troublesome.
This can lead to issues as these files can grow quite large and the disk or partition on which you have Windows installed might not be accommodated for that. Especially if you invested in a fast SSD-drive, you usually don’t have GBs of space to waste and rather locate this data on your larger data drive.
While you can force the location of ost-files via Registry value, you’ll need to remove and re-add the account and download all mail again.
An effective and more direct solution is to use Symbolic Links. While the matter around them and how they function is quite complex, using them is luckily fairly easy and they are a very effective solution for this issue.

Every now and then, the following story reaches us;
Today when I started Outlook, I got the error that my pst-file was missing and Outlook would not start. I checked the location where my pst-file should have been but indeed it wasn’t there. My last backup is from months ago so that is not a lot of help.
Outlook was working just fine yesterday.
What happened and is there any way that I can still recover my Outlook data?
While nothing works better than having your backups in order, all might not be lost yet if you had your pst-file stored on a disk with Previous Versions protection enabled. This however does require you to be using Windows Vista or Windows 7. Windows XP users will require additional tools which is discussed later in this guide as well.
The methods described below also work for pst-files that you have accidentally overwritten or have been damaged beyond the repair capabilities of the Inbox Repair Tool (scanpst.exe).

I’ve updated the ChangeStartTime macro from the guide Shift multiple Appointments to a different time.
The ChangeStartTime macro allows you to more easily and accurately change the starting time of multiple appointments at once.
The major change in the new version is that besides moving individual appointments, it also allows you to move the recurring appointments themselves and not just a selected amount of occurrences from the series.

If you are getting connection errors when trying to use the Facebook Provider with Outlook, make sure that you have the latest update applied for it.
As of today (May 1st), this is a compulsory update when you want to continue to use the Facebook Provider with the Outlook Social Connector (People Pane).
The main change in this release is that it now supports secure HTTPS connections.
This update has already been released on January 17, so if you’ve recently used Window Update or have it set to update automatically (including Office Updates), you’re most likely already up-to-date and won’t have to do anything.
