As seen in the Params guide in the Custom Folder Section
Custom folder mappingMNE's Data Migration Wizard and SSDM support the migration of Notes custom folders to renamed target folderswithin one or more designated parent folders in Outlook. Custom naming of custom folders is accomplished byadding one or more custom-folder parameters to the language section of MNE Global Defaults, Task Parametersand/or notesdtapp.ini.The key-name portion of a custom-folder parameter must begin with the Outlook target folder name (asspecified by the [Notes] UserFolderPrefix value), followed by a backslash, and then the name of the customfolder in the Notes source. The key name is followed by the "=" symbol and then the parameter value: the pathyou want MNE to assign to the target custom folder in Outlook. For example:[Notes]UserFolderPrefix=Folders[EN]Folders\NotesName=Folders\OutlookName... tells MNE to create a new Outlook folder named OutlookName within the Folders parent folder, and thenmigrate the contents of the Notes folder NotesName to the new folder.These custom-folder parameters can be used to override the UserFolderPrefix if the designated parent folder isdifferent from the folder specified for the UserFolderPrefix. For example:[Notes]UserFolderPrefix=MyFolders[EN]MyFolders\NotesName=OtherFolders\OutlookNameIf the parent folder is omitted from the parameter value (to the right of "="), the new folder is created at thesame level as the Inbox.If the parent folder is omitted in a custom-folder parameter key name (to the left of "="), MNE creates thetarget Outlook folder as a subfolder directly under the UserFolderPrefix folder, rather than in any alternatetarget folder that may be specified in the parameter value. For example, if:[Notes]UserFolderPrefix=MyFolders[EN]NotesName=OtherFolders\OutlookName… then the target folder in Outlook would be MyFolders\OutlookName.
