Since your Inbox folder constantly receives messages, you may want to organize them in different folders that you can create through your email provider. By moving messages to different folders, you can stay organized. In addition, moving messages also lets you retrieve deleted messages from the Trash folder.
To move a single message to a different folder, follow these steps:
While using the Mail app, tap the Move icon (it looks like a folder) that appears in the upper-right corner of the screen. A list of folders appears in the left pane, as shown in Figure 14-3.
Tap a folder where you want to store the currently displayed message, or tap Cancel.
(Optional) If you just want a message moved out of your Inbox, you can just Archive it or Delete it entirely. To archive or delete a single message, swipe the subject line of the message to the right, and tap the red Archive or Delete button that appears. You’ll see Archive or Delete (not both) depending on the email service provider.
To move multiple messages to a different folder (or delete multiple messages instead), follow these steps:
Follow all the steps in Reading Email on page 96 to view any message.
Tap the Edit button that appears in the upper-right corner of the Inbox window. Small circles appear to the left of each message, as shown in Figure 14-4.
Tap the circle to the left of each message that you want to move or delete. A checkmark appears in the circle.
Tap the Delete or Move button at the bottom of the Inbox window. (If you tap the Move button, you’ll need to tap a folder displayed in the Inbox window to choose which folder to move your selected messages in.)
