Agree with Sneff_Gabor you can use the PublicFolderMoveRequest cmdlets. If you need to move an entire public folder branch (which includes the parent public folder and all subfolders), you can use the Move-PublicFolderBranch.ps1 script thats available when you install Exchange 2013.

This example starts the move request for the public folder \CustomerEnagagements from the public folder mailbox DeveloperReports to DeveloperReports01

New-PublicFolderMoveRequest -Folders \DeveloperReports\CustomerEngagements -TargetMailbox DeveloperReports01

Move multiple public folders

This example begins the move request for public folders under the \Dev public folder branch to the target public folder mailbox DeveloperReports01. This example doesnt move the public folder \Dev.

New-PublicFolderMoveRequest -Folders \Dev\CustomerEngagements,\Dev\RequestsforChange,\Dev\Usability -TargetMailbox DeveloperReports01

Move a branch of public folders

This example uses the Move-PublicFolderBranch.ps1 script to move a branch of public folders. This starts the move request for the public folder \Dev and all its subfolders to the public folder mailbox DeveloperReports01. The script is located in the scripts folder and must be run from that location.

CD $env:ExchangeInstallPath\scripts.\Move-PublicFolderBranch.ps1 -FolderRoot \Dev -TargetPublicFolderMailbox DeveloperReports01

How do you know this worked?

To verify that the public folder move request was successful, run the following command:

Get-PublicFolderMoveRequest | Format-List Status

A status of Completed indicates that the move request was successful.
