Sorry, was my error. MoveTo requires the FolderID or StoreID as String. http://msdn.microsoft.com/ -> search for CDO and MoveTo says about the following:

$item->MoveTo( $Folder5->{FolderID} );
[download]

or:

$item->MoveTo( $Folder5->{StoreID} );
[download]

Best regards,
perl -le "s==*F=e=>y~\*martinF~stronat~=>s~[^\w]~~g=>chop,print"

I'm having a problem identifying the store id.. I found this link : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cdo/html/_olemsg_moveto_method_folder_object_.asp and even with this :

$item->{MoveTo}( $Folder5 );
i get this error
Win32::OLE(0.1501) error 0x8002000e: "Invalid number of parameters"
    in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "MoveTo" at C:\scripts\perl\email\getSearchE
+mail.pl li

with this line:
$item->MoveTo( $Folder5);
i get

still can't seem to find the right line to make the current item in my loop move to another folder. Anything else i can try? Thnx, Ray

I'm having trouble figuring out what the storeid is. i looked at the page http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cdo/html/_olemsg_folder_object.asp
and i can't seem to get a grip on how that would work in my code. I must be missing something in this line that makes it think that it doesn't have the right number of parameters. i'm getting errors that say :

Win32::OLE(0.1501) error 0x8002000e: "Invalid number of parameters"
    in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "MoveTo" at C:\scripts\perl\email\getSearchE
+mail.pl li

with the line :

$item->{MoveTo}( $Folder5 );
