How do I move bulk emails from Microsoft Outlook inbox to a outlook inbox sub folder? [closed]

I need to move 600 pages of inbox emails into a single inbox sub folder and don't see a way to select multiple pages in one go. Any ideas?

Solution 1:

You can't.

According to a Microsoft Representative (who by the way was very nice), in Outlook.com (the web version) you can not select an entire folder for the purposes of moving the emails to another folder. You can select all and toggle read or unread, but not move.

Our work around was to log into that email with the resident outlook program (not the web) and make the big move there. (we moved 12,000 emails to a specific folder) Then we went back to using the web version. Sorry for the bad news.

Solution 2:

Create a filter rule that matches all the mails you need, set the action to move to folder, execute immediately and remove the rule afterwards.

OR if you can only filter based on what to keep in the inbox:

Set a rule that moves away all mails you want to keep to a temp folder, then one to move ALL mails to the subfolder, then move back the temp mails (possibly with modified rule 1)
