Hi folks, I use Thunderbird for my emails. I want to do some filing into folders of the vast number of emails in my Inbox. If I search on a name or somesuch I can locate the emails I want, but I can't select any from that list to move them to another folder. I can do this at work where I have to use Outlook and just assumed it would be similar. Any suggestions on how to do this without having to keep going back to the Inbox? Cheers, and a very happy New Year to all. Robyn

Hi Robyn I used to use Outlook Express and spent much time filing emails of interest, mainly to enable me to find them with ease Since using Thunderbird, now for some time, I quickly found it was a pointless process As the search in Thunderbird is so good, all I do is archive by year I can find any email in seconds, so why waste my time filing them ? Archiving by year keeps the inbox clearer and emails easily accessible Just a thought Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 04/01/2014 07:01, Robyn Waymouth wrote: > Hi folks, > > I use Thunderbird for my emails.
