Move or copy posted messages

Note  You can't move or copy items between public folders and your Microsoft Exchange folders, or between public folders on different servers in your organization.

You can't use Move/Copy on the toolbar to move or copy a posted message. (The button is disabled.) Instead, you must drag and drop the message as follows:

1. In the Navigation Pane, click Public Folders.
2. Open the public folder containing the posted message you want to move or copy.
3. To move or copy a posted message, complete one of the following tasks:
   • To move a message, click the message, drag it into the appropriate folder in the Navigation Pane, and then release your mouse button.
   • To copy a message, hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard, and then click the message. While still holding the CTRL key down, drag the message into the appropriate folder in the Navigation Pane, and then release your mouse button.

Tip  You can also use this procedure to move or copy your e-mail messages, calendar items, or contacts between your Exchange mailbox folders.
