Managing Your Mailbox

Here’s How

1. Open the folder containing the message that you want to move.

2. Check the box to the left of the message you want to transfer.

   

   To move more than one message, check the box to the left of each message.

3. Select the destination folder from the Move... pull-down list near the top of the page.

   

   The message is now in the destination folder.

What’s Next

There are some restrictions on moving messages into and out of the permanent folders.

•  Draft—You can’t move messages into or out of the Draft folder. To save a message that you’re composing into this folder, click the Save as a Draft button. To remove a message from the Draft folder, either send it or delete it.

•  Sent—You can transfer messages out of the Sent folder, but you can’t transfer messages into this folder. Once you move a message out of the Sent folder, you can’t move it back in.

•  Trash—To move a message into the Trash folder, delete the message. If you delete a message by mistake, you can move it from the Trash folder into another folder. To permanently remove all messages in the Trash folder, empty the trash.

•  Bulk—The only way to move a message into the Bulk folder is to designate it as spam.
