Moving, Copying, Importing, and Exporting an email is one of the essential functions of Cloud Mail. It will be beneficial if you wish to manually move an email to a separate folder or import an email that you have downloaded from a different email client.
In this article, we will discuss:
How to Move an Email
- Sign in to your Cloud Mail in your internet browser.
- In the address bar, type mail.<your domain name>.<your domain extension>.
For example, if your domain is janesbagels and your domain extension is .com, you should typemail.janesbagels.com
in the address bar.
- Select the email you want to move by clicking on that email under the Inbox.
- Click the Move icon.
- A pop-up window shows you to select a specific folder by clicking on it. The Drafts folder has been clicked in the image below as an example.
- Click Move.
- Once it’s done, the email will be removed from the Inbox, indicating that the email has been successfully moved to the Drafts folder. By clicking on the Drafts folder, the email will be visible.
- To select multiple emails, use the left Ctrl button under the Shift button on your keyboard, then click each email you want to move. The selected emails will be highlighted in the image below.
