How can I move folders of your email ACCT. within Mozilla?

Change my e-mail provider and would like to move my existing folders and their content to the new account.
Thank you

Care to share with us? I would have advised allows you to copy messages, no records.

You can drag and drop messages, but it's a little unpredictable. There is also a right-click then option move or copy which is more reliable.

So because there is no method of right click to move folders, I avoid trying to do this by drag-and - drop. Yesterday, I was working with a post where the user has multiple or duplicate may, records and I think somewhere along the line, to move a folder or copy had been attempted.

If you slipped and dropped files and it worked in your case, then I'm happy for you. But I wouldn't take the risk myself.

    How can I move the outlook express emails from an XP PC to an another XP PC that has the same e-mail address without overwriting existing messages on this second PC?

    I need to group together all messages from e-mail in a PC and to retire the first PC.

    This could be problematic. I guess or OE is over? This would make it easy.
     
    One thing you could do requires some manual work, but much less removal of dupes. For example, the Inbox. In the machine, you are going to scrap, create a new folder and move all messages in your Inbox to it. After you import on the other machine, you can drag the messages you need this folder in the Inbox, and then remove the user created the folder.
     
    And then there are tools to remove the dupes. This one for example.

  • How can I move all messages and folders in 'Local folder' in the folder of my main account? The local stuff is to import from Outlook

    I imported my mail from Outlook, and they went into a local folders. I want that they in the main folder for the my account section. How can I move them there?
    For the moment, I create each folder and then copy the contents of one folder to another - crazy, and I have dozens of files

    DOH!

    After spending most of last night slowly moving the files from the Local level to the account that it's a little late for me to go back the other way, but what you suggested looks like it could work.
    Still seems simpler to 'right click' a folder and "move it" and all subfolders to have it move properly as well. Of course your test produces a different result for me. I wasn't able to drag all the folders with the sub folders and the contents of these subfolders go with it, only the contents of the main folder is gone.
    Still, as I said, I have now done most probably time call it a day on this topic and I hope that all similar problems see your answer above - cheers.

  • How can I move web shortcuts on my desktop into folders on my desktop?

    I have too many shortcuts to Web sites on my desktop and I need to organize.  How can I move them into folders?  Many of them were placed on my desk by my organization and can not be deleted, so I would put them in folders and own things!

    Hello Rebecca,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, you need to organize and move the shortcuts to Web sites into folders on the system.

    Certainly, I understand your concern.

    I suggest you try the following steps to create a folder on the desktop.

    1. Right click on the taskbar at the bottom of your screen, and then clicking Show Desktop.
    2. Right-click in an open space on your desktop, click new, and then click folder.
    3. Type a name for the folder, and then press enter to complete the creation of your new folder on the desktop.
    4. You can move the folder to the desktop by clicking on the folder, and then drag it to the desired location.
    5. You can also rename a folder by right-clicking the folder, and then clicking Rename.

    Note: Once the folder is created, you can simply drag and drop shortcuts from the site on this particular issue.
