Can't move mail to folder mac

Frustrating! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some steps to help you move mail to a folder on your Mac:

Check if the folder exists

  1. Open the Mail app on your Mac.
  2. Click on the "Mailbox" menu and select "Show Mailboxes" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + M).
  3. Check if the folder you want to move the mail to exists in the mailbox list. If it doesn't, you can create a new folder by clicking on "File" > "New Mailbox" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + N).

Check if the folder is selected

  1. Make sure the folder you want to move the mail to is selected in the mailbox list.
  2. If the folder is not selected, click on it to select it.

Try moving the mail

  1. Select the email(s) you want to move by checking the boxes next to them.
  2. Right-click (or Control-click) on the selected email(s) and choose "Move to Folder" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + V).
  3. In the "Move to Folder" dialog box, select the folder you want to move the mail to.
  4. Click "Move" to move the email(s) to the selected folder.

Check for any errors

  1. If you encounter any errors while moving the mail, check the Mail app's error log by clicking on "Mail" > "Preferences" > "General" > "Show Error Log".
  2. Look for any error messages that might indicate the cause of the issue.

Additional troubleshooting steps

  1. Try restarting the Mail app or your Mac to see if that resolves the issue.
  2. Check if any other mail clients or apps are interfering with the Mail app's functionality.
  3. If you're using a third-party email client or plugin, try disabling it to see if it's causing the issue.
  4. If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting the Mail app's preferences by clicking on "Mail" > "Preferences" > "Reset" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + R).

I hope these steps help you resolve the issue and move your mail to the desired folder on your Mac!
