How to move inbox mail in to draft folder

To move inbox mail into a draft folder, you can follow these steps:

Method 1: Using the Gmail Web Interface

  1. Log in to your Gmail account on the web.
  2. Click on the "Inbox" tab to view your inbox messages.
  3. Select the messages you want to move to the draft folder by checking the boxes next to them.
  4. Click on the "More" menu at the top of the page and select "Move to" > "Drafts".

Method 2: Using the Gmail Mobile App

  1. Open the Gmail app on your mobile device.
  2. Tap on the "Inbox" tab to view your inbox messages.
  3. Long-press on the message you want to move to the draft folder.
  4. Tap on the "Move to" option and select "Drafts" from the menu.

Method 3: Using Keyboard Shortcuts (Gmail Web Interface)

  1. Log in to your Gmail account on the web.
  2. Click on the "Inbox" tab to view your inbox messages.
  3. Select the message you want to move to the draft folder by clicking on it.
  4. Press the "J" key on your keyboard to move the message to the draft folder.

Method 4: Using the Gmail API (for developers)

If you're a developer, you can use the Gmail API to move messages to the draft folder programmatically. You'll need to use the move method and specify the "Drafts" label as the destination folder.

For example, in Python using the Gmail API client library:

from googleapiclient.discovery import build

# Create a Gmail API client
service = build('gmail', 'v1', developerKey='YOUR_DEVELOPER_KEY')

# Set the message ID and destination folder
message_id = '1234567890'
destination_folder = 'Drafts'

# Move the message to the draft folder
service.users().messages().move(userId='me', id=message_id, labelIds=[destination_folder]).execute()

Note that the above methods only work if you have the necessary permissions and access to the Gmail account. Additionally, some methods may not be available in all versions of the Gmail app or web interface.
