Expand the 'move to' list of folders, and also add New Folder
Users need to have the ability to move emails to any folders, not just the few shown when you click on 'move to'. The current version of Outlook allows you to expand the folder list so users can find the folder they want to move emails to, but the beta version got rid of that function.

Update November 2017:
We recently updated the Move to dropdown (in the command bar) and the Move to context menu item to prioritize your most-recently used folders. We believe this is an improvement that you will prefer over the fixed alphabetized list.
To create a new folder, simply use the New folder item in the folder pane.
Please enjoy the rest of Outlook.com!

I definitely -Flag as inappropriate- the ADMIN answer,
due so lot of people request expansion of the ´move-to´ list and me too.
Best, user configurable to his need e.g. 25 or 50!? -

In today's world of massive amounts of data, intelligent managing and filing of that data is key. Many of us have multi-level filing systems and spend large amounts of time getting to the folder where a piece of data needs to be stored. An expanded 'Move To' drop down will significantly reduce this time.

Please allow the user to configure how many "Recent Items" are listed in the "Move To" picklist.

PLEASE expand the "Move to" folder options to be much greater then 10. Keeping my Inbox under control takes up a great deal of my day. Only offering 10 move to folders sends me down the "Move to Rabbit Hole" to clean up my inbox. Offering only 10 move to options is not time efficient.

If you won't add more recent folders, how about the ability to filter my folders by name. This works well in Excel, surely it can be done in Outlook.

Seriously, 32 would be a good floor but the ceiling should be 64+. Please add a registry entry override at least for expanding this.

MS Outlook client support team: Please acknowledge if these concerns are (or will soon be) addressed in an upcoming update.
Even just doubling the number of recent folders where we could move messages to from 10 to 20 would be a great start, with a goal of allowing the user to customize the range to meet his or her needs, (or as otherwise governed by the system administrator to ensure user customizations wouldn't clog up any other part of the works). -

Like so many other people: you NEED more than 10 folders to show. It's ridiculous, and should not be so hard to program that.

It is ridiculous that we are unable to expand the size of the "move to" box . The sliders are so primitive.

Having moved back to Outlook from many years of using G Suite, this is one of the most annoying things with Outlook. Overall, I like Outlook and have transitioned easily. But filing messages is way too cumbersome. Not only do I want to see more than 10 recent items, I want to be able to type and filter folders. Even more, I want the ability to tag messages, rather than folder them. I used a third-party app nearly 10 years ago to bring tagging to Outlook. I can't believe that after all this time Outlook has not come up with a more efficient and user-friendly way to folder e-mail.

This shows Completed 2.5 years ago and people are still commenting on it. I think that shows that the issue was not properly addressed.
I jump from topic to topic all day and file 100's of messages. PLEASE expand the number of options in the "move" menu. I'd like 25 - 35.

I really do need to be able to expand the size of the box as finding sub-folders is so time consuming. That's all just let me make the box bigger please

I also agree that there should be more than 10 in the Move option. Perhaps an option to "Show 10 more"? I have a lot of folders, but showing the most recent 20 - 25 folders would be helpful since that is how I work day-to-day.

It costs so much time not having the option to have more recent folders listed. I need two times the number. At the moment Other Folder kills me.
