Folder location

Different sandbox folder location for different sandbox to improve computer performance (to use with different hard disks).

That's already possible, although at this time it requires a manual edit of the Sandboxie configuration file.
See File Root Path

First create the new sandbox, with
Sandbox > Create New Sandbox

Then
Configure > Edit Configuration
To put the new sandbox (called TestBox in this example) on X: drive, add the FileRootPath= line

[TestBox]

FileRootPath=X:\Sandbox\%SANDBOX%
Enabled=y
ConfigLevel=6
AutoRecover=y
Template=LingerPrograms
Template=Firefox_Phishing_DirectAccess
...
...

Merely replace X with the actual drive letter for your hard drive.
It can also be located on a ram drive or a TrueCrypt volume.

My mistake.

Is there a way to take all new created outlook email accounts and put them in a sandbox . (I wanted different sandbox location, but that is already possible)

I would recommend posting your Outlook question in the "Anything Else" section of the forum, with a little more detail.

[Edit] I realized that I only answered the question about having sandbox folders on different drives, if what you want is to have individual sandboxes on different drives.
If you want all of the sandboxes on a drive other than C:, then check out the Set Container Folder setting:
http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?Sand ... #container
on the Sandbox menu.
If you move the container folder to another location, it's recommended to first get everything that you want out of the existing sandboxes, and then Delete Contents.

Well, it is a feature request.

Since , if you start a sandboxed outlook , and say in this session open an outlook connector account, the new account opens outside the sandbox in its windows regular location.

I dont understand why. If you went this far.

It would be nice if all the information would be deleted when the sandbox closes. And be isolated there until termination.

Its a realy common virus that gets all this email accounts from the "contacts" and starts to send them ........ emails.... generally "not very good emails" on behalf of your name and email.
