Moving e-mails to another account

[Dean]

As a subcontractor, one of my contractors likes me to use one of their
e-mail accounts, which they set up for me, and which I access via a
Microsoft VPN type connection.

At some point, when each assignment is done, I like to move these files over
to a folder in my regular e-mail account that also has some of the e-mails
for that assignment.

I know I could forward these e-mails, but I would prefer to move (or copy,
then delete the originals) them so that the timing of their dates is
obvious.

What is the easiest way to move (or copy with date retained) these e-mails
(sent items and inbox locations only) to my main account?

Thank you very much.
Dean

What client(s) (and version(s) thereof) are you using in each case?

I'm not sure what the "client" question means but, when I click on the VPN
connection shortcut, under Properties, on the Networking tab, it says
"Client for Microsoft Networks" - is that what you're asking?

FWIW, when I open Outlook, it asks which of two Profiles I want to use, one
is Outlook (which contains my main account) and the other is this VPN
connected account.

I am using Outlook 2002, SP3.

HTH!
Thx,
Dean

Just drag and drop the email you want to move. Or you can setup a rule that
will automatically move the emails to specific folders.

No. You're complaining about email, so, naturally, I was asking about the
email client(s) you're using. In your original message you did not mention
that information at all.

What type(s) of accounts do these two profiles use? Exchange? POP? IMAP?
What? The crystal ball is rather dirty today.

I hope you can see the rich text, red-fonted stuff below.

I did not mean to complain at all. If you're asking who the contracotr is, it is a small outfit you would not recognize. I wouldn't think it matters. But pewrhaps I still misunderstand. Please clarify.

The main outlook uses POP3, certainly for incomoing, although it suggests STMP for outgoing (though that looks like it might be an Outlook default label).

For the VPN connected account, it uses a Microsoft Exchange Server.

Do you realize that the e-mails are in different accounts? I cannot keep
both accounts open at the same time. If I can't , I assume I cannot drag
and drop.

Kindly reply

Thanks

It is correct to post Plain Text to Usenet.

You do still misinderstand. Mail applications are generally client/server
arrangements, with the mail client running on your PC and the mail server
being hosted by an ISP or a company. In this newsgroup, Outlook is the
client people use, with POP3, IMAP, or Exchange being the servers.

The main outlook uses POP3, certainly for incomoing, although it
suggests STMP for outgoing (though that looks like it might be an
Outlook default label).

POP3 is, as you state, an incoming prototcol. POP3 accounts use SMTP for
outgoing mail.

For the VPN connected account, it uses a Microsoft Exchange Server.

Do you have these account defined under separate mail profiles? If I were
you, when I was done with a company, I'd create a local PST
(File>New>Outlook Data File) named for the company and copy the data in the
Exchange mailbox to that PST so it can be referenced locally in the future.
You can right-click on each folder and choose Copy. You can also use
File>Import and Export>Export to a File>Personal Folder File (.pst) to
export the entire mailbox in one go, although I'd choose the copy method.
More tedious, but better control and less susceptible to PST corruption.
You can then open the saved PST in your profile containing the POP account
when you're not connected to a VPN.

I think you're confusing "accounts" and "profiles". Of course you can have
multiple accounts in a single profile and you can access the mail stores of
each, if they have separate stores. You can't have more than one mail
profile open at any one time, however.
