MAIL

Moving or adding mail to a folder
Folders are useful for organizing your messages. You can put a message in one folder or multiple folders. When you move a message to a folder, IBM® Lotus® Notes® removes the message from its current folder and puts it in the target folder. When you add a message to a folder, Notes keeps the message in its current folder and adds the message to the target folder.

Caution There is only one message. If you delete a message that is in multiple folders or views, the message is deleted from all of the folders and views.

You cannot move messages from most views (such as Drafts or All Documents) because views automatically select the messages they contain. You can only add messages from views to folders. The Sent view is an exception because you have the option to remove a message from the Sent view while keeping it in any folders it is in. See Deleting, removing, or tracking messages from the Sent view.

Tip You can also drag messages to a folder. To move a message to a folder, display the target folder in the navigation pane, and then drag the message to the folder. To add a message to a folder, hold the Ctrl key (or COMMAND on the Macintosh) and drag the message to the folder. To move a folder inside another folder, drag and drop it onto the other folder.
