Am trying to move multiple emails from one outlook account to another using the new Outlook. File>Export not available. Copy or Move to a different folder in another account not possible (only within the same account). Is there any way to do so?

The latest I have is the following:

According to MS, it should be available by mid-May (!), so hopefully within the next few weeks (!).

    I have the same version 1.2025.219.400 and it still not works. Strange, that the release notes do not mention this feature:

    The post says, "All personal accounts in the new Outlook for Windows can seamlessly move emails between all their personal accounts, streamlining organization and productivity." Does anyone know how to do it? I have the Feb 2025 update (1.2025.219.400), and I do not see any way to move emails from one outlook.com account to another.

    See

    https://m365admin.handsontek.net/outlook-move-emails-between-accounts-in-the-new-outlook-for-windows/ 

    and

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?featureid=470018&searchterms=470018 

    Here is the theory: You have to change the policy to enable moving mails between accounts:

    First, retrieve the current OwaMailboxPolicy (POLICYNAME) for a certain user (USERNAME):

    Get-CasMailbox -Identity USERNAME | Select-Object OwaMailboxPolicy

    Then set ItemsToOtherAccountsEnabled to true as it is set to false by default:

    Set-OWAMailboxPolicy -Identity POLICYNAME -ItemsToOtherAccountsEnabled $true 

    To verify: 

    Get-OwaMailboxPolicy -Identity POLICYNAME | Select-Object ItemsToOtherAccountsEnabled 

    This only seems to runs if you have the latest version as the change has been published on February 2025 ... Rollout start was in Febrauary so it may take some time to get the version ... for me it should be mid feb as my office updates came always around mid of month.

    Has some one succeded with this solution?

    Kind regards from Germany

    Have you seen this? Outlook: Move emails between accounts in the New Outlook for Windows - M365 Admin It says that moving emails between accounts will be released in February 2025. Do you know if it is true?
