Move E-mails into specific folder using keyboard shortcut in Outlook 2010

Question

I am looking for a way to move e-mails in Outlook to a specific folder.

For example:

Windows+M - Will automatically move highlighted messages into "FOLDERA" without any popups or anything.

I know I would be able to figure this out with Auto Hot Key.

Does anyone have a way to do this in Outlook with macros or something? Or a clean way of doing it with AHK?

Answer 1

In Outlook 2010 you can use Quick Steps to do this.

On the Home tab, click Create New in the Quick Step window.

Then name your step, choose Move to folder action, then choose the folder to move it to. At the bottom of the window you can assign a shortcut key.

Choose Finish. Your new step is now available in the Quick Steps window or using the shortcut key.

Answer 2

One way to achieve this is via Outlook "Quick Steps":

1. In the 'Home' tab of the Ribbon of the main Outlook window, click the 'Manage Quick Steps' button in the 'Quick Steps' group:

2. Add a new 'Move to Folder' quick step. Choose a useful name; check the box for 'move to folder' and select the desired destination folder; and optionally check 'mark as read' if you always want messages marked as read when moved.

3. Click 'Options'. In the 'Edit Quick Step' dialog that appears, in the 'Shortcut key' drop-down at the bottom choose one of the Ctrl+Shift+[number] key combinations to associate with the Quick Step.

4. Click 'Save' and 'OK'.

Now, pressing the shortcut key you selected should move both (i) selected message(s) in a mailbox folder view and (ii) a currently open message to the selected folder.
