Move Folders

You can drag and drop the folders to rearrange them or move them from one parent folder to another. When the folder is very huge, it may take a few minutes for the folder to get moved completely. In such cases, wait for the transfer to finish completely, before you begin a new activity.

Change folder hierarchy

Sometimes, you may need to move a folder from one folder tree to map under another folder. You can drag and drop the folder, over the destination parent folder, to have it placed there or use the Place under option from the contextual menu on right-clicking the folder you want to move.

Drag and Drop

  1. To move a Subfolder from one parent folder to another, click and drag the folder over the destination parent folder.
  2. The target folder gets highlighted when you move the cursor over the name.
  3. Drop the folder there.
  4. The folder and the emails in the folder will be moved to the new destination folder.

If you want to place a folder in the same hierarchy as the Inbox folder, drag and drop it over the Folders menu.

Place under option

  1. Right-click the folder you want to move.
  2. Select the Place under option from the Folder drop-down menu.
  3. Choose the respective folder under which you want to move the folder to from the Place under menu.​
  4. The folder and the messages will be moved under the chosen folder.

If you want to move the folder out from a parent folder and have it equal to the Inbox folder in the hierarchy, choose "/" from the Place under menu.​

Rearrange using Drag and Drop
