As Outlook does not offer a function to bulk move folders (and I have strong resistance to buy any of these "recommended" third-party tools... I really hate this kind of business!) I thought about changing the parent_id
value within the table folders
of the SQLite3 file:
Why do I ask this?
I have a failed mailbox migration (80GB mailbox...) and would have to delete hundreds of folders by hand now – this is not a solution. As a earlier mailbox import already succeeded (unfortunately into a subfolders and not to the parent folder level) I thought about updating the sqlite3 file for the mailbox with a SQL query to reach my goal.
Is there anything which I'm not aware of which would prevent me from doing so (some kind of constraint / hash value which would change on a normal folder move I don't know yet)?
Looking forward to your thoughts on that topic 🥳
