Currently I have 2 drives  D for Mailbox Database and other for logs

D:\Mailbox\Database\Domain.edb
E:\ Logs

I want to move the mailbox to
D:\ mailbox\Database\Company2\Company2.edb

Is it necessary to logs ?  
BTW, I didn't understood by this  " The only thing to watch is the build up of the transaction logs and then ensure it is in your backup schedule."

Thanks Simon for help.

Logs have to be located in a unique directory for each database.
Therefore I usually create a directory called Exchange Transaction Logs, then a sub directory for each database below that.

A for the second comment - it means what I wrote. Moving mailboxes generates transaction logs and you need to ensure that your backup is setup to include the second database.

No. That is why I said you need to use a unique database for each database.
