Disable Inbox Subfolder Auto Expansion Outlook OWA

In a recent update, Outlook OWA changed the settings so that now any time you move an email over a parent folder, every subfolder opens instantaneously. This is creating absolute chaos for me as I have about 400 subfolders I utilize.

Other users have experienced the same issue (see @WilliamM-2133 's post at the like below)

Is there any way to disable this?

Hi @Charlotte-7327,

Welcome to our forum.

Based on my research and tests, there may be no option that could change it in owa, I think it is designed to locate the specific folder precisely when we dragging the messages.

If you don't like it, as a workaround, we could try to move the message via right-click the message or work with "Move to" Option like below.
