Can we forward a folder in outlook mail
In Outlook, you can forward a folder, but it's not a straightforward process. Here are a few methods to achieve this:
Method 1: Forward a folder using the "Forward" button
- Open Outlook and navigate to the folder you want to forward.
- Right-click on the folder and select "Forward" from the context menu.
- In the "Forward" dialog box, select the email account you want to forward the folder to.
- Enter the recipient's email address or select them from your contacts.
- Click "Forward" to send the folder to the recipient.
Method 2: Forward a folder using the "Move" feature
- Open Outlook and navigate to the folder you want to forward.
- Right-click on the folder and select "Move" from the context menu.
- In the "Move" dialog box, select the email account you want to forward the folder to.
- Enter the recipient's email address or select them from your contacts.
- Click "Move" to send the folder to the recipient.
Method 3: Forward a folder using a third-party add-in
There are several third-party add-ins available that can help you forward folders in Outlook. For example, you can use the "Folder Forward" add-in, which allows you to forward folders with a single click.
Important notes:
- When you forward a folder, you are essentially sending a copy of the folder's contents to the recipient. The original folder remains unchanged on your end.
- The recipient will receive the folder contents as a separate email message, which may not be ideal if you want to preserve the folder structure or send the folder as a single attachment.
- Forwarding a folder may not work if the recipient's email account or mailbox is not configured to accept large attachments or folder contents.
