Cannot 'move' emails.
I ticked the emails I wanted to put in a file, but when I clicked on the
'return' button to do so, the emails remained in my inbox. What is going on? |

Cannot 'move' emails.
Sorry! No need to shout at me. I did use XP NEW USERS. Sorry Sorry Sorry.
Right: XP Home Edition. I am using Hotmail for my emails. I use Internet Explorer. My computer crashed and while it was away for repair, I received hundreds of emails. I wanted to file them e.g. I am learning Spanish, so have a file called 'Spanish Dictionary' but each time I ticked on the emails to be filed, (or checked the files in US speak) and clicked 'Move', located the file where I wanted to move them, left clicked my mouse and the screen seemed to move them, but when I looked they were still there. Is there anything else I need to tell you? Thank you also for putting me right!

There are 2 methods for moving e-mails to different folders when using Microsoft's webmail client: - You select the e-mails (not files) that you want to move, click on the "Move" toolbar button to display a list of available folders, and then select one of those folders into which the e-mails will get moved. - Drag the selected e-mails to another folder shown in the tree list of folders. This would the same *right* click you use in Windows when dragging around objects (I don't know why you did a left click to drag). [Right-click means to use the primary mouse button and left-click means to use the secondary mouse button, so even if you reverse the buttons for left-handed mouse operation you still use "right" for primary and "left" for secondary). |

Thanks very much. This has worked! Good to know since it looks like I got the right-left terminology backwards. I've been using the mouse on the left-side for decades due to the lop-sided design of keyboard on the right-side although I am right-handed. You didn't give the exact steps you were performing so I figured you weren't doing it correctly. |
