I was doing a recent migration of email from Windows Live Mail (WLM) to Outlook 2013. The built in transfer within WLM worked perfectly in moving folders over to Outlook with one exception. This customer has two mail accounts created in Outlook, and the folders being transferred over from WLM needed to go into the second (non-default) email account.

I have the same problem with Outlook 2010 64-bit beta (haven't upgraded to the real version yet). But I did find an 'acceptable' work around, especially for moving multiple emails. It seems to work some of the time, but not all of the time. Yet with repeated attempts, I. Open the Microsoft Outlook in your old computer, next right click the email account whose Outlook data file you will move, and then select the Open File Location from the right-clicking menu. Now the folder containing the Outlook data file of selected email account is opening. Please close the Microsoft Outlook in your old computer. In the Navigation Pane under Mail Folders just right click the folder located in the wrong spot and select Move “folder name”. In the Move Folder dialogue box (you won’t be able to drag and drop) Highlight the correct location to move the folder. In this example I want it in my Inbox folder. Click OK and that’s it. Pandali Folder Master allows you to select multiple Outlook folders at once. Multi-Select Folders Allows you to delete, copy, and move multiple Outlook folders in batches. No more right-clicking on folders one by one! Transfer Folders Transfer your Outlook folders to another machine.

No problem, I thought. I’ll transfer them over to Outlook, and then drag and drop the folders from the default mail account to the second mail account.

But Outlook does not support selecting and moving multiple folders, and this customer had several dozen mail folders to be moved. I wanted to see if there was a workaround or a fix for moving multiple folders within Outlook, and I found Pandali Folder Master for Outlook utility.

I ran this on the customer’s Windows 8.1 laptop, and quickly moved the folders to the proper account.

In summary, I was very surprised that the WLM to Outlook transfer worked without a hitch, and that this utility program took care of getting multiple folbers moved to the right email account.
