If you have a link in the shared folders, then you can delete the link without deleting the original. If you moved the original to the shared folders, then deleting the file in shared folders will delete your only copy.

Peter,

I forgot to add, I did move the location of the original file recently, so I can't just delete the file in the shared folder.

I responded too quickly. Just move the file back to where you want it.

If it is not a link and it is the original file, just move it to where ever you want the file (I keep mine in My Documents/Mail).

If it is a link, just delete it.

I'm guess by link, you don't mean that what is store in the shared folders is a link, but that you want to break the link to the other machines over the network. If so, then follow my first suggestion.

You have to figure out if you have two files or one. It sounds like you have two.

If you have two, you have to figure out which one you want to keep. It sounds like you want to keep the one in the shared folders. If that is the case, I would first delete the one in My Documents (sending it to the recycle bin so you can get it back if you need to). You can just move it to the My Documents location. Now you only have one non-shared email folders. The old one is in the recycle bin.

If you want to keep the one in My Documents, then just delete the one in shared documents folder. It will go to the recycle bin so you can get it back if you need it.
