    Outlook macro to move conversation when dragging to folder YHlC_Fqu9PjtyUc8wYnSyr7RqDsHn-KebxP-MJq7iEo.jpg

    Hi all,

    I'm wondering if anyone can help me write a macro in Outlook for the following:

    1. Macro runs when I manually drag an email (or conversation) to a sub-folder
    2. The macro allows for automatic application of "Always move messages in this conversation"

    Notes: I've tried Quick Steps and Rules already. I do have a Quick Step called "Move Conversation", but requires me to select the required sub-folder each time. Normally I would be ok with this, however each time I start Outlook, the folder structure needs to be re-expanded (see multi-layered folder structure below).

    This is definitely laziness on my end, but I do enjoy reducing the amount of clicks I need to do (satisfies my OCD), and also love a good engineered solution to an insubstantial problem.

    Thanks!

  2. Ez Macros or any other Macro program

    Hi Brian,

    The issue is quite unclear and too broad for us to distinguish the main reason why you are having challenges/issues in Macro. To have a better understanding of your concern, we'd like to ask you some questions:

    • Are you referring on using macros on Excel? If yes, what is the version of your Office?
    • What exact application are you using when using macros? Where did you download it?
    • What were the recent changes made on your computer before you experienced this issue?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    • Did you receive any error message?

    Your response will be much appreciated.

    Surface Book Touchpad - Drag & Drop not working in Outlook 2016

    Hi Rainer,



    Allow me to assist you.



    A quick question before we proceed.



    What happens when you try to drag and drop attachments in Outlook 2016?



    Let’s start Outlook in Safe Mode following steps mentioned below, then try drag and drop an attachment
    and verify the result.

    * Hold Windows key + R.

    * Copy and paste, or type the following command in the Open box, and then press
    Enter


    Outlook /safe

    Note: There is a space between Outlook and ‘/’.

    If Outlook works as expected in safe mode, disable the add-ins by following steps mentioned below and determine the problem causing add-in.

    a) Click on File menu, click Options, Add-ins, Go button besides Manage: Com-in Add.

    b) Check if there are add-ins listed, clear the checkbox.

    c) Close the Office program and restart it.

    d) Enable each add-in one at a time, restart the Outlook, and repeat the above procedure. If the issue reappears again, it will help you to determine which add-in is causing this issue.

    Hope it helps fix the drag and drop. Try the suggestion and let us know the result at your earliest convenience.
