I run an organization with about 8-10 employees. I am super organized and they are not. I have a TON of folder and sub-folders in my Outlook 365 account and they are wanting to mimic or copy my structure but it is a ton of folders and it is constantly changing. They want to have that same structure. Is there a way for my folder structure to be copied to their individual Outlook accounts BUT NOT THE EMAILS INSIDE MY FOLDERS? I just want the folder structure to copy and if possible...to maintain and refresh as I change it on my end. Is that something that can be done? Sarah Thomay

    1. Export all folders and data to a new .pst file
    2. Open and display the new .pst file
    3. Archive all data in the new .pst file (this willl empty the pst from emails.

     

    Copy that pst over your colleges.

    Hi jrcooperlighthouse,

     

    you have to wright a VBA script/COM add-in to copy the folder structure.
