Hi Eric, The process you've outlined is more or less the same as I. Wow, either great minds think alike, or fools seldom differ :). My MBP is similar to yours in that it is a 2017 model with 16 GB RAM, 4 Thunderbolt ports, Touch Bar etc. I move messages from one account into a different account's mailbox sometimes as well, and it seems seamless to me. Maybe I'm missing something, or maybe I'm just having better luck than you.

One of them is off line as it is a old employer, but I have many emails in that account I might want to search through in the future. Of the others one is not very active. The other 5 are established with many mailboxes each. I use the same processes you described. Still by mid day I end up with many windows open. Even though having all windows closed helps a lot moving a message is still slow. The way I move a message is to open the context menu and go to copy, I arrow up once to move and then right arrow. I enter a few letters of the mail box name and when it comes up press enter. It is slow when I first do this. If I move a second message it is often more responsive. It was not doing this in Mojave, although I think it did in the beginning. Thank you for the thoughtful replies. It is now slow but much more usable. I keep a lot of messages in organized mailboxes under many accounts and I wonder if there is some time needed for everything to settle in after the OS upgrade.
