The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 3.1

This article was previously published under Q87160

SUMMARY

Version 3.1 of Microsoft Mail for the Macintosh allows the transfer of messages from the server to a local workstation and vice-versa.

Provided the Network Manager has assigned the appropriate privileges at the server level, you can create a folder both on the server and the local workstation with the same name and transfer all the contents from one folder to another. This, in effect, allows you to move folders from the server to a local workstation and vice-versa.

To move a storage folder from one location to another, simply create a folder with an identical name at the desired destination, move all mail messages to the new folder location, and then delete the old folder.

Example

To move a folder from the server called "Storage" to a local workstation, choose the New Folder command from the Mail menu and create a folder called "Storage" which has a destination of the local machine. Then open the Storage folder located on the server and move all messages to the Storage folder located on the local workstation. After the transfer is complete, simply highlight the empty folder and delete.
