    Hey Geeks -

    I'm trying to find a way to install Outlook program files on my SSD (c drive) but have the data on HDD (D drive) to save space on SSD for other programs. According to Microsoft, this isn't possible. Does anyone know of a workaround? If not, any suggestions on a good mail client to replace Outlook for someone who's used it for years? ;-P

    Outlook's data is in its .pst file and it has always been possible in previous versions of Outlook to locate this file anywhere you want. I can't help you with doing this in Outlook 2016 as I haven't updated since Outlook 2007 but in 2007 you control this through File > Data File Management. There should be something similar in 2016.
