    You can't. See
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5927127/outlook-change-in-move-to-dropdown-limiting-to-5-m

    Best you can do is Vote for and Comment on this Feature Request and hope that someone in Outlook Product Development notices.

    Most Recently Used (MRU) folder list under the "Move" option has been reduced from 10 to 5.

    Dear @Tim,

    I hope you’re having a good day.

    To better understand what has changed in your environment, could you please provide a screenshot of the Move menu that you are currently seeing, along with a brief description of which options or folders you believe are missing compared to before?

    I checked the current Outlook on the web experience and the Move menu still includes options such as searching for a folder, selecting a different folder, creating a new folder, and moving messages to other available folders. Outlook on the web also continues to support moving messages to folders that are not displayed directly in the initial list.

    A screenshot will help determine whether you are experiencing:

    • A recent interface change,
    • A folder visibility issue,
    • Or a specific problem affecting your mailbox.

    Thank you, and I look forward to hearing back from you soon with additional details.

    Please understand that our initial response does not always resolve the issue immediately. However, with your help and more detailed information, we can work together to find a solution.  

    Warm regards,
