Move/Copy Folders

Outlook Web Access allows you to move and copy folders between other folders. This helps you create and organize your folder hierarchies.

Note  You can not move or copy items between public folders and your private Exchange folders. For example, you can not move or copy a public folder into your Inbox or Calendar. Also, if your public folders are spread out over several servers in your organization, it may not be possible to move or copy items between those folders.

To move or copy a folder:

1. To display your private and public folders, on the Outlook Bar, click the Folders tab.
2. On the Outlook Bar, right-click the folder you want to move or copy, and then click Move or Copy.
3. In the Move/Copy Item dialog box, click the destination folder, and then click OK.

Tip  You can also move or copy folders by dragging and dropping them with your mouse. To move a folder, click on it with your mouse, drag it to the destination folder on the Outlook Bar, and then release your mouse button. To copy a folder, press the CTRL key, and then click on the folder with your mouse. Pressing CTRL, drag the folder to the destination folder on the Outlook Bar. Release your mouse button.

It is also possible to move or copy an existing folder to a newly created folder.

To move or copy a folder to a new folder:

1. In the Outlook Bar, right-click the folder you want to move or copy, and then click Move or Copy.
2. In the Move/Copy Item dialog box, click New.
3. In the Create New Folder dialog box, type a name for your new destination folder.
4. In the Folder Contains drop-down menu, select the appropriate item for your new folder, and then click OK.
5. In the Move/Copy Items dialog box, select the new folder, and then click OK.
