Outlook 2013 cannot change mail delivery location?

In outlook 2010, there was a button 'Change folder' in 'Account settings'>'E-mail' that i can use to modify the location to another pst file. While in Outlook 2013, I cannot find this button. All mails that i send and receive can only go to the default location but not the pst file that i set as default data file.

Is it a feature change or a bug?

Yes, Outlook 2013 RTM abandon the "Change folder" button by design. If you want to deliver the messsage to other data file, we need to create a rule for workaround.

Hope Microsoft reinstates this option, otherwise I will not be rolling out Office 2013 at my workplace.

It's really a shame that this was selected for exclusion, what's the purpose of reducing functionality?

I have successfully created rules for both the Inbox and Outbox and they work fine, so I'm effectively doing what the previous functionality did, just with more steps. I suppose the next release will prevent rules from working on the Inbox\Outbox.

Ah yes, another dumb move by Microsoft...Hey Guys...lets provide a useful function, get people used to using it and then take it away, won't that be hilarious? hahahahahaha. Seriously, here's an idea...be more consistent. If you provide a function...keep it in the product and stop moving things around. I swear if businesses had any brains, they would sue Microsoft for all the money the business world has spent "adjusting" to the hair-brained ideas that come out of Microsoft. Don't get me wrong, Microsoft has certainly changed the landscape of technology, but be more consistent. You put functions in, you take them away...third party apps are developed to put the function back in and then the next release Microsoft boasts about bringing the function back. Just use some common sense and stop frustrating your consumers.
