Change Mailbox Folder location

  • Stop the Gateway service by clicking on the desktop shortcut "MailStore Gateway" and then click "Stop Service"
  • Move the folder "C:\ProgramData\MailStore\Gateway" to your desired location.
  • Open an elevated command prompt (cmd).
  • Navigate into "C:\ProgamData\MailStore"
  • Execute the command:

mklink /D Gateway <full_path_where_you_moved_the_folder_to>

  • Restart the Gateway service by clicking on the desktop shortcut "MailStore Gateway" and then click "Start Service"

In our example below, we moved the "Gateway" folder to the "C:\TestDirectory" folder. Remember, you can move the Gateway folder to any local drive on the server.

  • After the command is ran successfully in the command prompt and the symbollic link is created, when you go back into the "C:\ProgramData\MailStore" directory, you will now see a shortcut which indicates that the move process was completed successfully. Please refer to the picture below.
