Go to the drive where you have stored your data.

Within the drive make a folder named msg.

Here each user must have their own seperate folder like shown in the image.

---

Each username folder has its own Email folder.

---

The overall structure should resemble the following:

E:/msg/[email protected]/Email/ (put all .msg files/subfolder containing .msg files of user1)
E:/msg/[email protected]/Email/ (put all .msg files/subfolder containing .msg files of user2)
E:/msg/[email protected]/Email/ (put all .msg files/subfolder containing .msg files of user3)
etc...

Within the Email folder there can exist multiple subfolders.
