Moving Imported Folders/Sub-Folders from Storage

I imported all my Outlook Express 6 folders into WLM and they are now located
in my Storage Folders. I want to move them to my normal account folders but
WLM only allows me to move individuals mails (or a group of selected mails)
and not an entire folder - is there any way of doing this?

The reason I need this is because I have hundreds of sub-folders in a folder
and, the way things stand at the moment, I now have to go recreated each
sub-folder and move the contents 1 by 1.

Note: If you remove an account from WLM, the account plus all of the emails
will be removed.
How many accounts do you have?

I am not removing anything from WLM - I am importing Outlook Express mails
into WLM. The problem is that, once imported, the imported e-mails lie in the
Storage Folder and I want to move them to my normal folders. Now WLM only
allows individual e-mails to me moved this way and not folders/sub-folders of
which I have PLENTY so now I have to re-create each sub-folder and move them
from Storage 1 by 1.

Explain what you mean by "normal" folders.
By design, WLM (and OE before it) keeps all emails in a Storage Folder....
You can create your own folder hierarchy within that storage location, so I
don't know what you are talking about...

Correct, folders are not drag/droppable to an account. Messages are.

On the left hand side it shows my account name (my own name) and indented
below that Inbox, Outbox, Drafts etc... this is where I created new folders
and want to move the e-mails to - I do not want them under Storage Folders.

Are you using Hotmail by any chance?

No it is a normal pop3/smtp mail setup. It allows me to move the e-mails but
I also have sub-folders and it won't allow me to move the entire folder with
sub-folders - each folder and each sub-folder must be moved on its own.

Is your folder and sub-folder structure the way that you had it in OE?
Creating a new folder and moving the emails is the only way to move the
messages.
Is it that important to move the messages out of Storage folders?
