How to Reorganize Email Folder?

[bilvihur]

I was able to recover old email after having to do Vista Recovery with
Backup, but now I have an Inbox folder with sub, and sub-sub, folders, etc.
How can I reorganize to have a single Inbox, Outbox, etc? Also, I have an
Imported folder with previous Outlook Express mail. Can this be added to the
Windows Mail folder? Thanks.

You can drag messages from one folder to another.

Frank, I have also had this issue and was able to drag and drop to organize
my folders in WIndows Mail however the Local Folder files at
C:user/(user)/Appdata/windows/Microsoft/WindowsMail/LocalFolder still shows
the imported folders from OE and previously deleted sub folders after I
originally imported the OE files to WIndows Mail.
The message export function does not work for me in WIndos Mail as it
indicates Low Disc Space so I am only able to back up directly from the local
folder file.
My question is - am I able to delete the Imported folder files under the
Local Folders so that Local Folder files and sub files mirror what I see in
Windows Mail or will this create an error with how Windows Mail saves mail
messages?
