> # Moving or Copying Messages

> Organize your messages by moving or copying them into specific folders.

> To load folders, choose Load Folder List from the Folders menu. If the list is already loaded, the Load Folder List option is not available. To use NetMail in disconnected mode, consider setting your NetMail preferences to automatically cache your folder list. See Setting NetMail Preferences for details.

> Note | NetMail allows folders to contain only messages or other folders (subfolders). A folder cannot contain both.

> ### To Move or Copy a Message

> 1. Select a message from the main NetMail window.

> You can select several messages at a time if you want to move them all to the same folder.

> Note | To select message headers that are next to each other, click and drag the mouse over desired message headers. To select several message headers that are not next to each other, hold down Ctrl, and click on desired message headers, or use Shift+click to select a group of adjacent messages.

> 2. From the Messages menu, click Move to Folder or Copy to Folder as required.

> The Move Messages to Folder or Copy Messages to Folder dialog appears.

> 3. From the list of folders displayed, choose the folder to which you want to move or copy the message.
> 4. Click Move or Copy.

> Note | Moving a message marks the message as deleted in the original folder. Messages flagged as deleted are not actually removed from a folder until you purge deleted messages. To remove deleted messages from a folder, choose Purge Deleted Messages from the Messages menu.
