You can also change your store folder. I always do that. When I have to reinstall, I simply change it back to my custom store folder from the default and all you messages will be there.

it is more stable to use custom store folder?
Changing your store folder has nothing to do with stability.
In event of reinstall, changing your store folder is beneficial since you won't lose all your messages.
