SYMPTOMS
========
When you try to copy a parent folder to a child folder, you will receive the
following error from Microsoft Exchange version 4.0 clients:
An item could not be copied. A folder cannot be moved into one of its
subfolders.
If you are using one of the Microsoft Exchange version 5.0 clients, the message
will be:
An item could not be copied. The destination folder is the same as the source
folder, or is a subfolder of the source folder.
MORE INFORMATION
================
This is by design. Parent folders cannot be copied to child folders. This also
occurs when the Copy or Move action is attempted from the File Menu.
Additional query words: copy subfolders move destination
