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
