Re: Copying files to another mailbox
Yes, all these methods are great. I will just caution, however, that it's still possible to lose messages this way if you're not careful. I recommend opening activity monitor with command-option-0 if you're moving large numbers of messages. It's worth while keeping an eye on what's happening, because it can often actually take much longer for these messages to move than it appears from the normal Mail interface. For instance, I copied a whole bunch of messages from my gmail account to a new work account. The messages all disappeared from the gmail mailbox, so I thought they had moved. I then deleted the gmail mailbox. I then got an error message saying some of the messages could not be moved. There was no way to get these messages back again. I guess what happened is that I deleted the mailbox before they had actually been moved, and by doing so I deleted the messages along with the mailbox. They did not appear in the new work mailbox, and no longer appeared in gmail. Cheers, Nic -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Copying files to another mailbox
I just used the method for mountain lion. There is no way I'm going to use anything else.

Every time I do command X, I get an error message to send to Apple. Not only that, but I was the file as well. Maybe I wouldn't have lost it if I had not decided to write a comment field. Maybe it wouldn't have lost it if I had chosen reopen it instead of doing that. Are there any better methods for moving a file from one box to the other than the one I have been doing for quite a while Under Mountain Lion?

Re: Copying files to another mailbox
Select the message or messages you want to move, then press VO+Shift+M to bring up a context menu. Move to is one of the options. Press right arrow to get into a list of mailboxes and select the one you want and press enter. Hope this helps. -Greg On Nov 3, 2013, at 4:41 PM, Eugenia Firth gigifi...@me.com wrote: Hi y'all I have discovered a way to lose messages in mail when going from one box to the other.

Re: Copying files to another mailbox
Hi, VO-shift-m while on the message in the message list to bring up the Contextual menu. Type m o to go to “Move to”, press your right arrow key then type the first couple letters of the Mailbox you wish it to go to then press return. If the message is already open you can do the same by going up to the Message menu and choosing “Move To” from there. Note that if your Mailboxes are collapsed within the Mailboxes list, then you will need to navigate further with submenus while in the Contextual menu or menubar itself. HTH.

Re: Copying files to another mailbox
You can go into the messages menu and choose move, and pick a mailbox from the list. You can move multiple messages this way. Also, if you have a numbered mailbox in your favorites bar, let’s say “saved messages” for example is on number 1, you can move a message to that box by pressing command-control-1 while on the message you want to move.
