Hello. I have created a backup of my email in a PST file. In it are hundreds of different folders, with thousands of emails. Separately, I have purchased email hosting through a private company. I have an email account with that company (on their server), which is empty. I want to upload all the email in the PST--including folder structure--to this new email account. Then I want to use this email account with Outlook (2013) as IMAP. After, I will have no use for the PST file (I will continue to create new, separate backups). What is the proper way to do this?

One way might be to:

  • Import the PST into Outlook.
  • Separately, add the new email account to Outlook as IMAP.
  • In Outlook, drag and drop each email folder from the PST into the IMAP account.

This could be tedious though, if I have to drag and drop each folder individually. Is there perhaps an easier method?

Thanks in advance.
