Move-To, Copy-to folder list

[Guest]

by default the move-to folder contains 10 previously used folders. How do i
extend/change the number of previously used folders? I'd prefer 15 or 20 as
it is a much appreciated time saving function.

You can't. Note that manually moving around items is a very time consuming
and reactive way of sorting your email. Consider using a combination of
rules, categories, views and Search Folders instead. Also note that you can
simply use Drag & Drop to move an item instead of using a menu bar.

"It seems logical that if they can make the list truncate at 10 there should
be a location (registry value) to change it."
Nope, the registry entry generated does not support manual editing. You can
find an overview of MRU registry keys here;

Not really the answer I was looking for..

I prefer the way that I handle my inbox sorting, catagores, search folders
and rules won't make life any better. However, manualy dragging and
dropping
messages to a folder tree is much too cumbersome.

It seems logical that if they can make the list truncate at 10 there
should
be a location (registry value) to change it.

Thanks for your response.
