Some users might face problems when receiving many emails at atime that makes them confused. So, this blog explains all about the Custom Folder Mapping process to solve this type of issue. So,read this guide if it helps you in understanding this topic.
Custom Folder Mapping:
Customer Folder Mapping is the process of moving data from one folder of an email client to a particular folder. Folders can be of any type as given below:
System Defined Folders:
An email client includes multiple system folders like Inbox, Drafts, Sent Items, Trash, Junk Emails, Tasks, Contacts, Calendar, and Journals. These folders are saved by default in an email client of the system. These folders cannot be changed or renamed by any user. But if you want to change any folder’s name then other folders are available.
User-Defined Folders:
A user can make a user folder in their email clients for receiving emails. If any user receives thousands of emails at a time then it would be difficult to manage all of them at a time. So, it becomes very important to make some rules and customize folders with the names from whom the email is sent.
Why do we need to use Custom Mapping Folders?
When we migrate NSF files into PST files then this time, the need for custom mapping folders becomes useful.
- If a user moves data from one email client to another one, then the platform may differ in languages. At that time, this custom folder mapping helps in mapping one system folder with other system folders.
- When moving data from one email client to another then there could be a need for showing the source of data using different names. This can be possible by archiving the data from the previous file into newly created files with different folders’ names. At that time, this custom folder mapping option helps in mapping the system folders with user-definedfolders.
How to enable the Custom Folder Mapping option?
NSF to PST Converter utility has this advanced option to map a folder with another one. If you want to enable it then follow the below steps:
Step 1 : Download and launch the Sysinfo NSF Converter. Then selectthe path for saving the log file of the process.
Step 2 : Open the NSF database for the process.
Step 3 : Opt for the NSF files, where you want to enable Custom Folder Mapping. Then, click on the Export button
Step 4 : Soon the software will start the scanning process. Press Ok and go further.
Step 5 : Take the preview of the database files and folders in a tree-structured layout. Select the folders to import and click on the Export button.
Step 6 : Opt for the saving path of the NSF database after conversion and click OK
Step 7 : Select the date range for the filtration of emails from a particular timespan
Step 8 : Choose Advanced Settings options.
Use the below steps for System to System Folder Mapping-
Step 9 : Then select the Custom Folder(s) Mapping option, and below it opt for the "Select Folder" option
Step 10 : If you want to change the folder name then enter the name of the folder by your own choice under the "Changed Folder Name" text box. Then click OK.
Step 11 : Soon the saving process will get started. Wait for its completion
Step 12 : After the completion of the conversion and saving, click on the OK button and exit the software wizard.
The process will be the same but the system defined folder will be moved into the newly created user-defined folder. For Example, the Inbox folder mails will be moved into the user-created folder names as “Previous_Mails”.
