    Problem when import an account

    I like WLM very much because it's not necessary to create roles to transfer
    messages to another folders if message come from some account, etc... since
    the account are organized with folders that have subfolders.
    I know that change the Store Folders in Maintenance to another location
    prevent you do loose all the WLM things, but if I copy from the Explorer
    some folder account with messages and subfolders and I paste that to another
    machine in the WLM folder from the Explorer the message are all stored in
    the "Storage Folders". Restore them from the Import method is the same
    problem either. The most problem is that is not possible drag and drop or
    other method to transfer that imported folder to the appropriate account.
    It's possible to do what I want without manually create the same folders in
    the account and then transfer from the imported folder? If that is not
    possible is there a idea to change the program in the future? Otherwise is
    very annoying.

    Re: Problem when import an account

    Is there any other solutions when importing an account to automatically
    create the folders in the proper account, instead of creating the folders in
    the "Storage Folders"?

    Messages can be dragged, folders cannot.

    Will it be changed in the future, unknown.
    Note: Hotmail accounts(http) don't have subfolders, thus moving subfolders or dragging a Hotmail folder is also not an option.

    I was referring to POP3 accounts.

    Deleting an account in WLMail also deletes the account's emails. Emails
    stored in Storage folders are not affected.

    I know that. That is why the WLM warns before deleting an account. I think
    there could be an option where the user can choose where to create the
    folders if in the account folder or in the Storage folders.
