Outlook keyboard shortcut to move message to a different folder

Question

I am trying to organize my inbox and move my messages to certain folders. Is there a keyboard shortcut I can set up like:

CRTL + 1 : Personal Folder

CRTL + 2 : Task 1 Folder

CRTL + 3 : Task 2 Folder

Answer 1

You can create a macro, digital certificate, and assign it to a toolbar button or keyboard shortcut. Check out the information listed here:

Here's the macro code:

Sub MoveSelectedMessagesToFolder()
On Error Resume Next


    Dim objFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder, objInbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
    Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace, objItem As Outlook.MailItem


    Set objNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set objInbox = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
    Set objFolder = objInbox.Folders("_Reviewed")
    'Assume this is a mail folder


    If objFolder Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "This folder doesn't exist!", vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, "INVALID FOLDER"
    End If


    If Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Count = 0 Then
        'Require that this procedure be called only when a message is selected
        Exit Sub
    End If


    For Each objItem In Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection
        If objFolder.DefaultItemType = olMailItem Then
            If objItem.Class = olMail Then
                objItem.Move objFolder
            End If
        End If
    Next


    Set objItem = Nothing
    Set objFolder = Nothing
    Set objInbox = Nothing
    Set objNS = Nothing
End Sub
