| | Re: Moving Folders in Windows Live Mail I'm fairly sure you can't. There was a discussion some time ago about it, but the upshot is that you have to create a new folder upstairs and then transfer the messages to it. That's probably easiest by Ctrl-A to mark all, Right-click and select Move to folder. Dragging and dropping can be a bit fraught, especially if there are a lot of messages. When you're done, you can just leave the empty folders alone. If you do delete them you'll probably have to mend your Quick views - see http://liveunplugged.spaces.live.com...90CA!205.entry -- Noel "RAE1" <RAE1@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:etEGMZKqIHA.524@xxxxxx Quote: > Does anyone know how to move email folders from the storage folder > to the default account folder for POP emails?

| | Re: Moving Folders in Windows Live Mail I started moving folders at 9:00am on Monday and have finally finished and it is now 2:00am on Tuesday. I sure hope WLM makes this easier in the future and I really hope that I don't have to do this each year when I like to do a reformat. Other than that I'm slowly getting to like WLM :-) "Ildhund" <jnllb@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:#Gx4MfKqIHA.3680@xxxxxx Quote: > I'm fairly sure you can't.

| | Re: Moving Folders in Windows Live Mail Interesting. This looks as if it actually duplicates functionality already in Windows and WLM, but perhaps makes it more convenient.

| | Re: Moving Folders in Windows Live Mail One other question while I remember: when moving messages to the folders, is there a default setting to see the folders in "collapsed view" instead of having to scroll through the many sub-folders in the "expanded view"?
