Hi,
I want to replicate an existing folder structure on my hdd to outlook
2007 pst file.
Anybody knows how to do this.

Folder stru is large with more that 300 folders in it and around
900-1200 subfolders.

Please email me on amitmadhra@gmail.com

Thanks all
Regards
Amit

Why would you ever want to do something like that? Outlook is not a file
system - it's a database. There are better methods for email management than
using hundreds of folders.... and its hard to find things if you have too
many subfolders but if you insist, you'll need to create the folders one at
a time. while you could use VBA, till you learn how and get it right, you
could have all 1500 folders created.

Yes but.... Once he has the code for that he could add another 1500 folders
every week without any further effort :-)
