Question Create Outlook Folders on external drive

How can I create an Outlook Folder (.pst) on another hard drive leter. I want to free up hard drive space without removing emails. I can see how to archive to an external drive, but I want an active, accessible folder on an external drive and have it show up in the Personal Folders list in Outlook. I want to be able to move email from the Inbox to folders on the external drive and be able to view them "realtime" from that folder or folders. At work the IT guys do it on a network drive. We can read or move email to and from folders on the network drive. I want to do that with my WD "My Book" USB drive. Maybe there is a way to do it with the archiving process but if I understand archiving, (which I may not) when you archive email to another drive, it is not readable unless you go through a restore type process.

Thanks
Jon
