How to move an email to a folder


Resolution

There's a few ways to move an email to a folder:

Use the "Move" button:

  1. Select the check boxes to the left of the email(s) you want to move.
  2. Select the Move button in the toolbar. (Note: this button is not clickable unless emails are selected.)
  3. A pull down menu appears.
  4. Select the folder you'd like to move the messages to.

The message(s) move to the selected folder

Drag the email:

  1. Click and hold down the email(s).
  2. Drag it over to the left side onto the name of a folder.
  3. When the name of the folder lights up, unclick the message.

The message(s) move to the selected folder.

Tips for moving more than one email:

  • To select messages in a sequence (an entire block of emails), press the "Shift" key and click on the first and last message.
  • When you've selected the messages you want to move, just click on one, hold it down, and drag it over as above.
