Transferring Messages

Eudora User Manual

 

 

Note. You can undo mailbox transfers using the “Undo” command from the Edit menu.

Using the Transfer Menu

The Transfer menu is one way to transfer messages among your mailboxes. With a current message open, or message summaries selected, choose a mailbox from the Transfer menu. The messages are transferred from their previous mailbox to the mailbox you selected.

Dragging Messages

You can drag messages from one mailbox to another using the message summaries or the Tow Truck icon in an open message window.

To drag a message summary to another mailbox, do the following.

1Click to select the message summary or summaries.

2Drag the summary into any open or minimized mailbox window, or any mailbox in the Mailboxes window. When you release the mouse button, the message is transferred.

To drag an open message to another mailbox, hold down the mouse over the Tow Truck icon and drag the message into any open mailbox or any mailbox in the Mailboxes window. When you release the mouse button, the message is transferred.

When dragging to the Mailboxes window, pause over a closed folder. The folder tempo- rarily opens making its mailboxes visible so that you can complete the drop operation. The folder closes again when you complete or cancel the drop.

Note. You can only drag messages around if the “Allow drag and drop transfers” option is selected in the Mailboxes options window. See “Mailboxes” on page 212. Click the page number to display the topic.

Creating a Mailbox or Folder During Transfer

To create a mailbox and transfer the current message into it at the same time, do the following.

From the Transfer menu, choose New instead of the name of a mailbox. The New Mailbox dialog box appears.

You can create a new mailbox or mail folder. For details, see “Creating Mailboxes and Folders” on page 100. Click the page number to display the topic. When you are done, the current message is transferred into the new mailbox.

To create the new mailbox without transferring the message into it, select the “Don’t transfer, just create mailbox.”
