Move message to folder via keyboard

I have a lot of folders (mailboxes) in mail and I would like to be able to move a message to a folder after I read the message with out having to drag the message to the folder using the mouse. I would like to be able to invoke some command and type the first few letters of the folder (mailbox). The free software "Mail Act-On" helps but for a limited number of preset folders. Does anyone know how to set up a script for this? - or a keyboard shortcut for the "Move To" submenu?
Thanks!

You could setup a Rule so that if mail is From, To, CC: or has a Subject of xxxx, then those messages would be moved to those folders automagically. If you do it by Subject, then you'd have to be certain that the subject of those emails to you are always the same.
Don't know of any other way to do this without the keyboard.

  • Os x mail gmail fail to move messages to folder

    Using the latest Mail application (Version 8.2 (2098)) with Gmail.  When I move messages to a folder (mailbox), then quit out of mail (after waiting a 'reasonable' amount of time), when I return to the Mail application, the messages I moved from the Inbox are back, and what I moved is not in the folder.  OS is 10.10.3.  Very annoying, as there is no way to remove mail from the Inbox.

    Bad/Corrupt Rules can also cause migration failures so you might check that as well.
    Depending on the # of mailboxes you have to work with another option would be to take an offline copy of the database (EDB/STM) and use a 3rd party utility like Lucid8's DigiScope to open the database offline.  Once you have access to the data you
    could dial-tone the DB, then execute the MB move which will go fast since the DB is pretty much empty.  Once completed use DigiScope to inject/migrate the data directly from the offline 2003 database into the production Exchange Server. 
    Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox and Public Folder EDB's and Live Exchange Servers or Import/Migrate direct from Offline EDB to Any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->
    2007 --> 2010 --> 2013 with Lucid8's

  • Messages Disappeared/Can't Move Messages to Folder

    I am the entire IT department for my company, and one of my users has run into a weird and very troubling problem. For quite some time (years), she has been moving messages from her IMAP account into a local folder. This folder contained hundreds of messages, perhaps even thousands. Several days ago, she attempted to drag a message into the folder, only to have the message jump back to the message list. Concerned, she clicked on the folder to find that it was completely empty. She let me know, and I immediately checked her Library and found that the corresponding folder under Mail is also empty. I can't find any trace of the missing mail anywhere - nothing in the Trash, nothing in Deleted Messages - it's just GONE. The user isn't an expert, but she's far from computer illiterate, and in talking to her I don't have any reason to believe that user error is to blame. Does anyone have any idea why this might have happened (and hopefully tips on how to retrieve the missing mail)? I've verified the hard drive and checked permissions (grabbing at straws) and both were fine.

    In fact my 'drag' ability seems to have disappeared altogether... just tried to drag a new option onto my toolbar and drag just doesn't work!

  • Error messag -'Error while determining ref.mov.type for WM via Table 156S:'

    Hi Guys,
    I am currently facing some issues with respect to the deliver creation.
    The scenario is somthing like this.
    I have assigned a FOC Item category to an Consignment Issue order type.
    The system is able to determine the Item category successfully.
    However when the delivery is created it throws an error message
    'Error while determining ref.mov.type for WM via Table 156S: 903/X/X/W/L/X/'
    Not sure why this occurs.
    All the settings seem to be set.
    If any one of you can help me out it would be great.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Pandi

    Dear Pandiraj
    The standard process is that consignment issue order should be created with reference to Proforma invoice.  Having said that I dont understand why you have assigned a FOC item category to issue order.  Not sure, whether this will work.  Also I feel that you should explain in detail the process for which you are configuring this.
    thanks

  • Error message: The folder (you are trying to move) contains the catalog

    II am trying to move a catalog to an external HD. I am getting an error message: The folder (names folder) contains your LR catalog and cannot be moved while LR is running.
    How can i move the folder within LR without LR running or if I move the catalog out of the folder in MAC Finder, will it impact the synchronicity of the file pATH? Where should the folder containing the catalog be kept? I keep some separate catalogs by year because of the amount of photos that they contain and I "store the catalog file within the LR folder on the HD

    Copy the catalog with Finder to the external. Copying the previews also is optional because if you don't LR will make new ones, but copying over the Previews.lrdata folder to the same location will save time. This is done with LR off. Now double click on the external catalog .lrcat file and LR will launch. After verifying that the new catalog is functioning properly, you can delete the old one from the internal.

  • Nokia C3 move messages in different folder.

    Hi Friends,
    I am using Nokia C3 from last 2 month and my current software is v4.65.
    Now I like know how to move my inbox messages in different folder.
    I can only archive my messages but can't move to different folder.
    Please give me solution.
    Thank u in advance.

    Folders? Not in POP. If you want to use folders then IMAP is the protocol you should use.

  • How to automatically move messages from an IMAP folder to a local folder?

    I have rules set up on my IMAP server to filter messages to various folders. While these folders do show up in Mail.app, they're listed under the accounts, which, for me, is off the screen. Is there some way I can have these messages automatically moved into a local folder? The built-in rules don't seem to work, as they appear to only apply to messages arriving in an Inbox.
    Having to manually move messages is getting old real fast.

    I think this does what you want. You'll need to create the local mailbox first and change the xxx's to your account identifier:
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    width: 720px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #FFDDFF;
    overflow: auto;">
    tell application "Mail"
    set messageList to (messages of mailbox "Dump" of account "[email protected]" of application "Mail")
    move messageList to mailbox "DUMP_Local"
    end tell </pre>

  • Unable to move message into new folder in Mail 3.1

    Hi
    I just added a new folder in Mail, but cannot move a message from my inbox (IMAP) into it. I can move messages into other, older folders, but not into any folders I created today. This is happening with both local and IMAP folders created today.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    D

    Okay, here's what I find:
    My home directory: drwxr-xr-x+ owner=me
    ~/Library: drwx------+ owner=me
    ~/Library/Mail: drwx------ owner=me
    Continue to the local mailboxes:
    ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes: drwx------ owner=me
    ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/(top-most level): drwx------ owner=me
    ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/(top-most)/(next level): drwx------ owner=me
    That gets us to the info I gave previously, which I already fixed using chown.
    If we continue to the +remote (IMAP)+ mailbox:
    ~/Library/Mail/(imap account): drwx------ owner=me
    ~/Library/Mail/(imap account)/INBOX: drwx------ owner=me
    And that again brings us to the level where the original problem was (and the individual directory that I have corrected using chown.)
    So I can fix each directory individually using chown, but I'd like to fix the cause.
    Thanks!

  • N97 Mini Move message folder to Mass Storage

    Ok, I'd like to get this right for once and for all. I'm challenging the Move message to Mass storage feature. These are the steps:
    0) I have two message in my Inbox, Remove and replace the battery and switch on the device. After that I format E:Mass Storage and close File manager
    1) In Messaging Options I select Settings and than Other and change the Memory in user to E:Mass Storage
    2) I'm asked if I'd like to "copy all messages to the new message memory". I click on "Yes"
    3) I'm asked if I'd like to "Save original messages" and I click "No" as I'd like to use the new stoage exclusively
    After that the Inbox is empty.

    Hi Guys.
    My problem is slightly different.
    I have a Nokia N97 Mini
    The other day i was trying to speed up my phone, so i did the following:
    1. Entered menu
    2. Selected option for: Settings
    3. Selected option forhone
    4. Selected option for:Application Sett.
    5. Selected option for:Messaging
    6. Selected option forther
    7. Set memory in use from: C: Phone memory to E: Mass Memory
    At the time it asked me if i wanted to copy my messages or if i wanted to move them, so i moved the,.
    Then i realised the phone messaging feature got even slower so decided to move them back and go back to original settings.
    So went through the procedure again and did reverse of step 7 above.
    But this time it didnt ask me to move or copy the messages.
    I have gone into PC Suite, and backed up my messages whilst having the settings to E: Mass memory in step 7, then restoring back onto the phone with C: Phome memory in step 7.
    This didnt work either.
    Any ideas?

  • Outlook 2010 - Move to public folder brings an error "the folder is not available"

    Hi
    we have exchange 2010 SP3 in our organization
    clients use both 2010 SP2 \ 2013 outlooks
    when moving an item from the mailbox to a public folder directory the item moves successfully, and the directory is added to the recent directories under the "Move" button.
    then, when I try to move another item to a public folder directory from the dropdown recent list I get the error message:
    "The folder is not available"
    obviously it's available as I can do the same action manually. it happens on Outlook 2010, Outlook 2010 SP2 and Outlook 2013
    for all the users
    so it's not a profile or a user's issue
    I saw many posts with the same error but they mostly talk about pst files and the solution is the kb
    2405793‎ which is already included in SP2 + out users don't use pst. everything is in exchange
    hope to get some answers before I open support case at MS
    Tamir Levy

    Hi Tamir Levy,
    From your description, when you drag an item to public folder, it is successful. When you use the "Move" button to move an item to public folder, it occurred the above error. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
    I recommend you check if the issue also exists via OWA. If the issue doesn't occur when you use OWA, please verify if the issue happens on Outlook online mode or in cached mode.
    Hope it helps.
    Best regards,

  • HT1668 I get the "Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash". whenever i try deleting from my ipad 2. I am unable to delete from Trash...HELP

    I get the "Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash". whenever i try deleting from my ipad 2. I am unable to delete from Trash...HELP!
    Additional info...I am trying to delete these emails from a Webmail address. the Trash currently has 11 messages and they arent being deleted.

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Another option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If you still can't delete them then go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars,  select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.

  • I try delete messages  and said unable to move message

    I try delete messages and said unable to move message what can I do

    Try closing the Mail app via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if you can delete them when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.

  • Cannot delete messages from inbox, cannot move messages out of inbox, message do not copy to "sent" or "draft"

    The following problems occur:
    - cannot delete messages,
    - cannot move messages out of inbox,
    - messages do not copy "sent"
    - messages cannot be saved to "draft"
    This applies to imap and to gmail accounts.
    The following has not helped:
    - compact trash and other folder
    - deinstall and reinstall TB 31.4.
    - archive profile with mozbackup and replace profile from archive after reinstall of TB.
    - deinstall and reinstall TB 31.3 downgraded
    - delete all folders and files with "trash*" in the file name (all IMAP)
    - delete all files of 1 mail account completely in the TB profile and resync from server (IMAP)
    This might coincide with these system changes:
    - upgrade to TB 31.4.
    - some of these email accounts were installed on ios8 iphone.
    Not sure if the problems had already started before these 2 occurrences.
    Any help is appreciated to solve this.
    Thanks!

    What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)? If POP, what are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings?
    You may be able to get rid of those messages in Mail doing Edit > Cut (⌘X) (for best results do it with one message or just a few at a time), but you should remove them from the server first if they’re still there.
    Does this account allow web access? If not, you may find the Account Info window useful to solve this problem — choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailboxes list in the main Mail window.

  • Photo Stream: Can you put them in folder via PC?

    I have some photos on my laptop I want to put on my iPad.
    I've kinda only just figured out that Photo Stream stores everything that's taken on the iPad.  And amazingly, when I delete it via the Photo Stream folder on my laptop, I see it disappear on the device.
    Very clever.
    However, can I copy files from PC to Photo Stream and view them on the iPad?  It shows them in my Photo Stream folder via PC, but doesn't show on the iPad.  Or does it take a while to "update"?
    I use DropBox which I know is similar, but Photo Stream doing this would be a little slicker.
    Do I see what storage I am using on Photo Stream via my iPad?

    It can take a minute or so for the photos to appear but I never tried uploading a lot of photos at once. In any event it should not take that long for the photos to show up on the iPad and unless your WiFi connection is very slow for upload speeds.
    If you move a photo to the photo stream folder on the PC it should appear in the iPad photo stream album in the photos app. Once the photos appear in the photo stream you can save them to the camera roll on the iPad and they will not disappear from the device if you remove them from the photo stream.
    Photo Stream will delete a photo from all devices of you delete it on any device. Photos stream keeps those photos in sync.
    maybe this will help.

    This might help you as well.

    You do know that you can sync photos to the iPad with iTunes - correct? And that you can sync over WiFi as well if that's important to you.
