rename bulk outlook folders

Hi Jimmy,

Are these folders in one account or many?

Do you have a list of the folders - current name and desired name?

Thanks,

Alan.

This is one mailbox. The person have over 5000 folders and lot of them have special characters that we like to rename them.

Hi jimmy,

How do you have the list of what you want to rename (original-name and new-name)?

Alan.

There are a hand full. Last time we did the export folders, it was about 500 folders with special characters that we need to rename.

Reason because we believe it is causing her activestnc device keep reloading on her iPhone.

To prove that we like to rename all the special characters.

Ideally is there a find a script can find that special character ( example ? Or \ ) then rename it underscore

What is the easier way to rename the folder ? Maybe by import csv file or actually specify the name of folder and rename it ?

You can either write a pretty complex script utilizing EWS or use the commercial product.

do you have any example using EWS ? I not familiar with it

Take a look here:

are you  familiar with EWS ? if you do, then I can ask some question related to EWS.

Hi Jimmy,

Where are you at with this?

Did you get a list of folders that you want to change (oldname and newname)?

If so, should be possible to script it.

Thanks,

Alan.

Pick whichever reply you feel was most helpful, and any others as 'assisted' and split the points any way you feel is fair (or evenly if you prefer).

Thanks,
