During the move, the databases will be dismounted, hence, will become offline until the process is complete.
Another way to do this would be to create the new database and log directories on the E drive. In this situation you would have two different databases then using the exchange managment console you could move the users from the old DB to the new one.
Ive done something similar because we had some issues with drive space and whitespace in the DBs.

I recommend you to create a newdatabase on the E drive and just move the mailboxes. This way your whole database won't be offline.When using this enable circular logging.
Once the mailboxes are moved. Turn of circualr logging and delete the old mail store.

I can't create a new databases since they hae a very very very slow internet connection. So the backup software will back all these new data up again, it will take years..
I can't understand the link between creating a new database and slow internet conenction .how are they related.
Are you no doing local backups.

Sorry - mboppe.. My mistake. Off course there is no relation between a new database and slow connection.
Will try to make a new database on the new partition, and move the mailboxex over there.
