Moving the default Mail store location in POP3

Using the Windows interface

1.Open POP3 service.
2.In the console tree, right-click the computer_name node, and then click Properties.

POP3 Service/computer_name

3.In Root Mail Directory, type the path to the mail store; for example, C:\mailstore. The maximum value is 260 characters.
4.restart pop3 and iis

Note: After doing this I found the users are not able to login to the mailboxes hence I did it from the command line


Also move (don’t copy) the existing mailboxes from the default location (normally system_drive:\Inetpub\mailroot\Mailbox) to the new directory


Using the Commandline interface

1.Open Command Prompt.

2.Type:

winpop set mailroot path_to_mail_store

3.restart pop3 and iis
