After years of using Office for Mac 2011 and Outlook, I have decided to move to the free Apple Mail instead of forking out £229 for a single Outlook 2016 license.

With Outlook, I was able to put the "Microsoft User Data" folder any place I liked, then place a link on each drive where Outlook was going to look for that folder. So, each of my three operating systems were dealing with the same database.

Is there an equivalent approach to Mail? Where is the Mail database? Am I asking to something that Mail can't do?

Thanks.
