How to move a subfolder in my email account inbox to another subfolder in the same account

I have created a "master" subfolder (e.g.: "Yearly ALL") in my email account. As 2020 approaches, I want to copy the entire subfolder and all the subfolders beneath the "master" subfolder to a 2019 archive folder (e.g.: "2019_in").

What is the easiest method to copy, yes copy, the entire master subfolder "Yearly ALL" to be a subfolder within my Archive, within "2019_in"?

I surmise by copying. I'll have two sets of identical messages. Then after the "copy" is successful, I can empty each subfolder.

Likewise, by using a "move" or drag & drop I would need to create all new subfolders and reenter all my rules, about 60.

Below is my master subfolder with about 3.000 messages in all the subfolders which go down about four levels..

Thanks.

look at archiving. select the mail and pres A. Really your should be doing it all year long, it is not as if the mails are a million miles away, instead of trying the end of year big bang.

Make sure you set up the archive structure re years and maintaining folder structure as well as months before you start as the archive moves message based on the settings.

Note archiving does not work as expected with Gmail as the all mail folder is the one and old archive folder that will actually work. No structure permitted.

This option: "Make sure you set up the archive structure re years and maintaining folder structure as well as months before you start as the archive moves message based on the settings." is good.

But I prefer the other option to preserve the original folder/subfolder structure.

Yes, I tested the option selectively.

Thanks for the URL pointer to the solution..
