Troubleshooting with moving Outlook emails to subfolders

Hello Mark,

I am stuck on this issue: https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/issues/1743

I am trying to move outlook emails into subfolders and this works well most of the time.

However in some cases, probably when a copy of the email I am trying to move already exists into the subfolder, I get the error below using:
x.Move(self.folder.Folders("Inbox").Folders("VALORISATIONS").Folders("Allianz"))

Is there a way to specify that you want to eventually crush the existing email in the folder?

Thanks for your precious help.

WSL is a linux environment - pywin32 simply doesn't work there. You can install it via a Windows command-prompt, or in WSL stick to the versions of Python that work for Ubuntu but without pywin32.

HTH,

Mark
