How do I resize the MOVE ITEMS window in Outlook

I am trying to resize the MOVE ITEMS window in Outlook to allow me to view more folders to move items to. How do I do this?

I can get the MOVE ITEMS folder to resize yet I cannot get the inner window MOVE THE SELECTED ITEMS TO to resize. View images below.

  • I don't think it can be resized, New Outlook and online offer a different view for moving, so it's more scrolling for folks with a lot of folders unfortunately. I create a quick step for moving things faster. Might work for you.

    The entire window is disappointing. I actually used ChatGPT to generate a visual studio solution to build a vtso Outlook add-in that also includes fuzzy search. Even allows you to misspell folders but show the closest matches. I added it to my quick launch options so I can press alt + 3 and it brings this up. Works surprisingly well! Wish Microsoft could do this natively.

    This really needs to be done. It has been overlooked for so many years.
