 +The 'new data folder' is whatever the new name of the 'pgsql\data' folder is. It is //not// the name of the folder //containing// the new data folder, but the name of the new data folder itself. A simple way to tell this is that the "new data folder" is the path of the folder where the **postgresql.conf** file now resides. So, if your 'postgresql.conf' file is in the 'd:\vpop3data\data' folder, you should specify '' -D "d:\vpop3data\data" '' in the above command.

 +=====Large Message Store=====
 +In VPOP3 versions 3 and 4, large messages are not stored in the database, so, if you wish to move those as well, there is a further couple of steps before you restart VPOP3:
 +  - move the VPOP3\_messages folder tree to the new location
 +  - In the Windows registry, find **HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PaulSmith\VPOP3** and set the **MessageStore** value to point to the new location
