| | Moving Imported Folders/Sub-Folders from Storage I imported all my Outlook Express 6 folders into WLM and they are now located in my Storage Folders. I want to move them to my normal account folders but WLM only allows me to move individuals mails (or a group of selected mails) and not an entire folder - is there any way of doing this? The reason I need this is because I have hundreds of sub-folders in a folder and, the way things stand at the moment, I now have to go recreated each sub-folder and move the contents 1 by 1. |

| | Re: Moving Imported Folders/Sub-Folders from Storage I am not removing anything from WLM - I am importing Outlook Express mails into WLM. The problem is that, once imported, the imported e-mails lie in the Storage Folder and I want to move them to my normal folders. Now WLM only allows individual e-mails to me moved this way and not folders/sub-folders of which I have PLENTY so now I have to re-create each sub-folder and move them from Storage 1 by 1.

By design, WLM (and OE before it) keeps all emails in a Storage Folder.... You can create your own folder hierarchy within that storage location, so I don't know what you are talking about... |

| | Re: Moving Imported Folders/Sub-Folders from Storage Correct, folders are not drag/droppable to an account.

| | Re: Moving Imported Folders/Sub-Folders from Storage No it is a normal pop3/smtp mail setup. It allows me to move the e-mails but I also have sub-folders and it won't allow me to move the entire folder with sub-folders - each folder and each sub-folder must be moved on its own.

| | Re: Moving Imported Folders/Sub-Folders from Storage Imported folder is itself a sub-folder of Storage Folder. You cannot move it out of Storage folder. Perhaps you might want to create your sub-folders under your e-mail account ? t-4-2 "Krugz" <Krugz@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:E09443FE-AEB5-45F2-A8E0-B98A2E6F1A41@xxxxxx Quote: > No it is a normal pop3/smtp mail setup.

| | Re: Moving Imported Folders/Sub-Folders from Storage Is your folder and sub-folder structure the way that you had it in OE? Creating a new folder and moving the emails is the only way to move the messages.
