OL2000: Moved Folder Becomes a Sub-Folder of Destination

MORE INFORMATION

There may be times when you may want to move the contents of a folder to another folder. The Move Folder option may seem to be the logical method to accomplish this, however this will move the folder, folder views and settings, along with the contents to the destination as a sub folder.

To Move the Folder Contents Only

To move the contents of a folder to another, follow these steps:

NOTE: Any items being filtered or Sorted out of the view will not be moved. Clear all filters and sort options before starting this process if you want everything to be moved.

1. On the View menu, click Folder List if it is not visible.
2. On the Folder List, click to select the folder that contains the items you wish to move.
3. On the View menu, point to Current View, and click to select Phone List.
4. On the Edit menu, click Select All.
5. Drag the files in the right pane to the destination on the Folder List. To copy the files to a new folder instead of moving them, hold the CTRL key down when you drag the files.
