Batch Move All Emails in an Outlook PST File to a Specific Folder
- At the very outset, launch your Outlook application.
- Then you can switch to “Developer” tab and click on “Visual Basic” button. Or press “Alt + F11” key shortcuts.
- Subsequently, in the popup VBA editor window, open a not-in-use module or straightly insert a new one.
- Next copy and paste the following VBA codes into this module.
Private Sub GetAllFolders() Dim objFolders As Outlook.Folders Dim objFolder As Outlook.Folder 'Get all the folders in a specific PST file Set objFolders = Outlook.Application.Session.Folders("Personal").Folders For Each objFolder In objFolders Call MoveEmails(objFolder) Next End Sub Private Sub MoveEmails(ByVal objFolder As Outlook.Folder) Dim objTargetFolder As Outlook.Folder Dim objSubFolder As Outlook.Folder Dim i As Long Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem 'Get the specific destination folder 'You can change it as per your case Set objTargetFolder = Outlook.Application.Session.Folders("John Smith").Folders("New") If objTargetFolder Is Nothing Then Set objTargetFolder = Outlook.Application.Session.Folders("John Smith").Folders.Add("New") End If 'Move each emails in the folder to the destination folder For i = objFolder.Items.Count To 1 Step -1 If objFolder.Items.Item(i).Class = olMail Then Set objMail = objFolder.Items.Item(i) objMail.Move objTargetFolder End If Next i 'Process the subfolders in the folder recursively If (objFolder.Folders.Count > 0) Then For Each objSubFolder In objFolder.Folders Call MoveEmails(objSubFolder) Next End If End Sub
- After that, change your Outlook macro security level to low.
- Eventually you can run the new macro by click the “Run” icon in the toolbar or press the “F5” key.
- At once, all the emails of all the folders in a specific folder will be moved to the predetermined folder in batches.
