There isn't any "move", there is only a "save as" just like Eudora. But what happens isn't. that is untrue, you aren't following the instructions they gave you. All mail you see in kmail has been downloaded to your computer. So it's all "saved" And you needn't open it in a separate window, the messages are readable from the lower right pane of your kmail window. ( your message list is above this window. If you don't see this "prevue" pane, you need to adjust your kmail window.) The advantage of using your preview window is that opened version of your message doesn't appear. So you don't ever need to worry about how to explain this to the list again. in the menu that appears when you right click the message, as others have told you , there is a "copy to" and "move to' option , as well as the move option when you "grab" the message and drag it to another folder. you *can* even save them to your desktop.. but that is messy. Someone else told you that you can move and save as to any other location in the world. The question you haven't answered is, why you would want to. If you don't want to keep all the emails you probably have in your "mail" folder, you should delete them from the message list and keep the ones you wish in kmail in folders that make sense to you. IIRC Rajko gave you very complete instructions. Alternatively, buy a linux book. There is bound to be at least one that gives you enough detail to fix your problem in some way that makes you happy w/o driving everyone else crazy. Repetedly restating your belief that is doesn't work correctly doesn't make it so. And BTW why don't you get a linux version of Eurora if that is your prefered client? -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web LIVE – Free email based on Microsoft® Exchange technology - http://link.mail2web.com/LIVE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
