Default Moving folders

I have a self created folder on my hotmail account for emails from a company
that I deal with a lot. I have just created a special account for them on my
personal domain and I wanted to know if I can move the entire folder to the
new account rather than forwarding each individual email. Both accounts are
set up on my outlook express.

TIA

Steven

Create a folder for the new account.
Make a rule like this:

Where the message is from the mail.fjsmjs.com account
Move it to the fjsmjs folder
and Stop processing more rules

Or is the new account in a different OE identity?

It is a new identity. The folder that I have the emails in now, is
"business" and I want to move the entire folder to the new account/identity.
Is that possible? If so, how?

TIA

Steven

You cannot move the Hotmail account's folder, no.

You can copy or move the folder's contents to a local OE folder.

You can drag copies of messages (EML) in any OE folder to another Windows
folder.

inbox of the new account I created?

Please define "account". (To us here, "account" denotes a mail account; an
"identity" is how/where OE stores your messages; one or more identities can
be running in a Windows User Profile.)

And are you referring to a Hotmail inbox in an (new) OE identity (running in
a separate/new User Profile)?

Understand that what you see in your Hotmail-specific OE folders simply
mirrors what's on the MSN/Hotmail server, unlike POP3 mail. If you
configure your Hotmail account in another OE identity (or even in OL), what
you see in the current identity's Hotmail-specific folders will download
into the new identity's folders as soon as it syncs with the server.

It sounds like you want to have a Hotmail inbox running in another identity
containing only messages from this company. You can't do that.

You /can/ drag any OE message from one OE folder to another, or even to a
Windows (non-OE) folder.

OT: Your headers tell me that you're running outdated and much less secure
versions of OE, IE and WinXP SP2. Check in at Windows Update ASAP to
install all critical updates.

I have two seperate "identities", one is for a hotmail account, the other is
from my private domain. In the hotmail identity, I have a folder that I
created to store emails from a company I do business with. I want to move
everything away from my hotmail identity to the email identity from my
personal domain. I can forward all of them, but I want to know if I can save
myself the time and trouble by transferring it all from one identity to the
other. Is there an easy way to do it?

Why not have both addresses (i.e., and )
running in the same identity? Then you can simply drag the messages from
the Hotmail folder to your user-created local OE folder.

Otherwise, here's what you can do:

1. Copy or Move all messages in the Hotmail folder to a new local OE folder
you've created for this purpose (e.g., a folder named Company Mail).

NB: This will also move the messages to Hotmail Deleted Items folder!

2. Switch to the other identity (File Switch identities).

3. File Import Messages Select "OE6 here" Select the other
identity's store OK The wizard should automatically point to your other
identity's store folder Next Check "Selected Folders" & select
(highlight) the folder named Company Mail Next ...

In the new Identity click File | Import | Messages and go through the menus
and get to where you can choose an identity to choose from. Pick the proper
identity and then just the folder you want.
