can i copy/move a folder in outlook into a normal folder structure ?
I have a user who wants to be able to save a subfolder in outlook into a normal explorer folder on the shared server drive. Some thing as simple as drag and drop or a 3rd party.
I know you can't do drag and drop. And the user doesn't under stand the export to pst...
Ideally, the folder that is copied would have the emails in it as per a normal folder setup.

I'm almost positive that there is nothing that will do what you ask. It's not that complicated technically, but I highly doubt that anyone has gone to the trouble of exporting Outlook email data into a file-based sttructure.
Hi, total123.
If a script-based solution (i.e. an Outlook macro) is acceptable, then I can make this happen. It wouldn't be drag-n-drop though. The user would select a folder and run the macro. The macro would prompt them for the file system folder they want to export to. Once they supplied that it would create a new folder and export the contents of the Outlook folder to it. Would that work?

hi bluedevil
that sounds good, would it export the files as email files or into a pst format.
he's looking for the email file format.
