    Is it possible to move entire sub-folders (retaining their name and emails within) to a new mailbox? I am aware you can right click a folder in Outlook and select move or just drag and drop it to another mailbox. But i would like to be able to move a bulk amount of folders to a new mailbox using powershell. I am currently not aware of any cmdlet that would let accomplish this.

    I have moved bulk messages using subject or date range to a new mailbox, but never entire folders retaining all of the contents.

    We are using o365 full cloud if that makes any difference. And the original mailbox in question is a shared mailbox, not a specific user mailbox.

    Thank you for any help

    For help with O365 you would do better by posting in the O365 forums.

    Basically you will have to select the contents of a folder and move it to the new folder.  There is no "Move Folder".  What you see in the GUI is just a representation of what happens.  Moving mail between mailboxes copies the mail and then deletes the local copy.
