The Bat! keeps messages in folders, generating a familiar folder tree, much as Windows® Explorer uses. This helps you to easily organize your e-mail.

 

Whenever you create an account, The Bat! generates four default folders:

 

Inbox

for incoming mail

Outbox

for outgoing messages

Sent

for sent messages

Trash

for deleted mail*

 

You cannot delete these folders or move them to a level below root.

 

*Beware: You cannot retrieve messages after deleting them from the Trash folder!

 

Beside these default folders, you can create any number of other folders, building your own hierarchy. Using filters, you can automatically store any incoming or outgoing messages in any folder.

 

You can also sort messages manually to folders (drag and drop).

 

To move a message:

 

1. Select a message (click and hold on any message).
2. Drag it to a folder of your choice (while holding down the primary mouse button - usually left).
3. Drop it into the folder (release the mouse button when you have located the destination folder).

 

To copy a message:

 

1. Select a message (click on any message).
2. Press and hold the <Ctrl> key.
3. Drag the message to a folder of your choice (while holding down the primary mouse button - usually left).
4. Drop the message into the folder (release the mouse button when you have located the destination folder).
5. Release the <Ctrl> key.

 

To move a folder:

 

1. Select the folder you wish to move (click on any folder).

2.  Press and hold <Alt> key.

3. Drag 'n' Drop it at the desired new position
4. Release the <Alt> key.

 

To make a folder a sub-folder :

 

1. Select the folder you wish to move into another folder (click on any folder).
2. Press and hold both the <Ctrl>+<Alt> keys.
3. Drag 'n' Drop the folder into the folder you want it to be a sub-folder of.
4. Release the <Ctrl>+<Alt> keys.
