Saving mail to Storage Folders

I do not see any "help" to move messages to the storage folders. When I
right click on a message and am offered the prompt "move to..", it gives me
an error message. I would like to be able to get these messages off the
server, if I do not plan to delete them, but... so far, I have not been able
to accomplish this action.

Have you created a folder in the Storage Folder to hold the intended messages ?

Does drag and drop work ? (the result is the same, since moving is not copying)

You must not be talking about a pop account, but you haven't said the
account type.
Post the error message.

Hi! Thanx for your reply. I am referring to the mail I receive from Windows
Live Mail. Thus, it is mail coming in. I would like to move the incoming
mail to the storage folder that is labeled "Inbox" under "Storage Folders."

I have tried drag and drop, but this action is not allowed. The system give
me an "error" message ("an unknow error has occurred").

Will welcome another response.

Ron, sorry the primary account IS a pop account (off my server). However, I
just moving a message again, but this time, I formed a new folder. It
worked, however, what is, then, the purpose for having the other folders
listed under "Storage Folders?" They are: Drafts, Sent Items, Deleted
Items, INBOX, Junk eE-mail, Outbox, and a couple that I previously had
created.

If I can move a message to a newly created folder, under "Storage folders,"
then why can't I move from the SERVER Inbox to the STORAGE Inbox?

Mercy, so perplexing. I do declare!

I don't have an Inbox or Junk E-mail folder under Storage folders.
The other standard folders there are for newsgroup messages.

Could it be that the 'extra' folders - inbox, junk e-mail and outbox - came
across when you upgraded from a beta version of the program? If so, they
have special status, which basically means you can't use them. If you delete
them (assuming there's nothing of interest in them), you'll probably break
your Quick views, but this can easily be remedied (see several posts in the
last couple of weeks on the subject). Then you should be in a position to
set up folders of your choice under Storage folders and move messages to
them with impunity.

However, I see little merit in moving POP messages to Storage folders. You
could just as well set up folders under a POP account to store messages in,
in which case you could classify them, and they would be near the top of the
Folder tree, instead of at the bottom of it where Storage folders get lost
if you have a lot of accounts like me.

Asked earlier

</qp>

I.e. Create a folder in the storage folder, then drag and drop and move will function to that folder.

I assume Willow has multiple mail accounts and wants a consolidated place
that shows all inbound mail that's not been filed - ie a single pending tray..

If the Quick Views folder is selected - ie the one at the very top, then it
lists the mail in the inbox of each mail account - a'voila a consolidated
pending tray.
