Copy Outlook folder structure w/o data
Does anyone know if there's a way to get a list of Outlook folders and their subfolders, entire structure without data? there are times when needing to access other user's mailboxes that a list of folders is required first. I need to know if there's a way to get this list without doing screenshots of every expanded folder.

The Archive funtion is grayed out. We have it turned off for customers since we have an autoarchive software doing that job.

ezekielseyes at least provided me with a possible solution. Am looking at creating a script now so appreciate the assistance.
you can simply click on File - Cleanup Tools - Archive.
Then Click the Archive this folder and all subfolders option, and then click the folder that you want to archive.
Select the Include items with “Do not AutoArchive” checked check box to include any items that might be individually marked to be excluded from automatic archiving.
In the "Archive Items older than" section enter a date that definitely does not backup anything (a date like 01.01.1950).
Then select a destination for the archive to be created and click OK.
Through this, you'll create an empty pst archive that only contains the complete folder structure without any contents.
You can then simply add this empty pst file to your outlook profile and copy the complete structure to a new mailbox for instance.
