Microsoft Outlook VBA to move emails to the same folder as the rest of the email thread

When this macro is run within the main window of Microsoft Outlook, the user will be prompted with a pop-up containing a list of folders that emails within the thread already reside in, excluding default folders such as "Inbox" and "Sent Items". The user picks a folder from the list and emails will be moved to the selected folder.

If there would only be one folder in the list, then the emails will be moved without prompting the user and the macro displays a message box confirming the move.

Installation

Open Outlook VBA window using a method such as Alt+F11.

Import files by selecting "File" then "Import File...". Import ListThread.bas and ListThreadFolders.frm. ListThreadFolders.frx must be in the same directory as ListThreadFolders.frm when it is imported.

Usage

Run LoadUserForm in ListThread.bas to start the macro. It is recommended to create a toolbar shortcut button to this subroutine.

Limitations

The macro crashes if certain symbols such as the percent sign (%) or backslash (\) are within a folder name.
