In my suggestion above, disregard the &quot;apply these settings to all folders now&quot;. That is if you needed to archive all your folders. Sorry.

If there's something common in those 18,000 emails, you can create Rules in Outlook, to move the emails automatically....and yes it would take sometime, so create rules to move emails to a different folder/pst &amp;&nbsp;then go grab a cup of coffee ;)

There is one user who has 20,000 messages in their Inbox (poor management over time + no training on archiving). She wants to move about 18,000 of those messages to different folders but Outlook (2003 or 2007) only allows about 250 messages to be moved at one time.<br />

Is there a way to move 400+ messages in Outlook at one-time easily?
