Method for moving all emails in a folder?

geedee · 20 Oct 2010, 01:48 AM

I looked but am still unsure if this is possible.

I have a folder with many tens of thousands of emails. Is there a way I can move everything in a given folder to another folder (without making it a subfolder)? It would take a long time to select and move in groups of 500...

Any ideas?

Try going to the folder in question (with all the emails). Then go to the box "more actions" (top right). In the dropdown menu there is "select all in folder." Then just move it to your new folder. See if that works.

Glad to help !

Actually, I only learned of that item myself a few months ago via this thread.
