selecting and moving multiple folders

[NC transplant]

Hi all,

I've recently moved from Windows Outlook to Entourage on the Mac. I
imported all my Outlook email using Outlook2Mac. All folders were
successfully imported but unfortunately the folder sub-structure did
not make the trip. I need to recreate the folder structure I had in
Outlook but to rename and move hundreds of folders into sub-folders
will be difficult in Entourage because it appears that I can't select
and move around multiple folders. Is this right? Is there any way to
select and move around multiple folders?

Thanks for any help,

Robert

Selecting the root folder moves the subfolder. You can't use the Finder
command to shift select or command select to move Entourage folders.

I'm curious how does the folder structure come over? Someone was asking
earlier today about moving mail over with in the thread "Entourage Date
Problem" and I was unsure about the process. Did you use the MBOX method?

Thanks for the information. Not being able to use the Finder to shift
or command select subfolders and move them to other root folders is a
serious limitation. Outlook2Mac just treated each subfolder as a root
folder and transfered them all that way (using the MBOX method). This
was no problem with my wife who only had a couple dozen
subfolders...but for me with over a thousand subfolders it causes a
lot of headaches. Oh well, Apple Mail here I come.
