Move Mail Activity

The Move Mail activity enables users to transfer email messages to specified folders on a mail server. This activity facilitates email organization by relocating messages based on their unique identifiers.

Field	Description	Requirement
Entry Id	Specifies the unique identifier for the mail item to be moved. This ID is typically obtained from the first column of a dataset generated by a Search activity.	Required
Folder name	Defines the destination folder where the mail item will be moved. Use a forward slash (`/`) to specify subfolders (e.g., `Inbox/Subfolder`). The folder must exist on the mail server.	Required
Email Address	Provides the specific email address to target if multiple accounts are configured (e.g., in Outlook). If left blank, the default account is used.	Optional

Technical Notes

The Folder name parameter supports hierarchical folder structures. Use a forward slash (/) to delineate subfolders within the path (e.g., ParentFolder/Subfolder/TargetFolder). Ensure the specified folder path exists on the mail server; otherwise, the activity will fail. The Entry Id is a unique, server-generated identifier and is crucial for precisely targeting the mail item.
