The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Mail for Windows, versions 3.0b, 3.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you export a Mail folder and choose the Move option, all the messages in
the folder are moved. However, the empty folder is not deleted from the source
message file.

CAUSE
=====

This is by design. The folder hierarchy is kept intact to make it easier to move
the messages back, if such an action is necessary.
