Outlook PST Multiple Subfolders - Extract All Messages to One Folder at Once

Hierarchy of folders in Archive not necessary.

Need to extract all messages to one directory.

Any way to do this in a batch?  Rather than extracting them to the identical file structure, or selecting one by one each subfolder to go to a new single destination, run command that takes all mails out of every nested folder and dumps them into one folder in the new destination.

Thanks!

You say "extract", does that mean you want them exported from Outlook to an O/S folder?  Or just  copied/moved to a new "flat" folder in Outlook?

Hi Bill! :))

Just  copied/moved to a new "flat" folder in Outlook.

Thanks,

OT
Okay, I'll see what I can work up .  A couple of additional questions.

  1. Do you want to move everything from the source folders, or only email items?  (there may only be email items, just trying to understand the filtering)
  2. Do you want to COPY or MOVE the items?
