How to File Mail with Speed, Comfort and Keyboard in MailMate

By , About.com Guide

Filing messages is an email user's hourly routine. Filing to the trash and archive is, luckily, convenient and easy in MailMate.

Filing to any other folder is, fortunately, not much more laborious or even difficult. You don't have to employ the mouse, and you don't have to scan a long list of folders either.

File Mail with Speed, Comfort and Keyboard in MailMate

To move a message to any folder swiftly in MailMate:

  • Highlight or open the message (or messages) you want to move.
  • Press Command-Alt-T.
    • You can also select Message | Move to Mailbox… from the menu.
  • Highlight the destination folder in the Move to Mailbox window.
    • You can use the down and up keys to navigate the list.
    • To narrow the select or jump directly to the desired folder, type one or more characters from its name.
      (You need not start with the folder name's beginning letter; typing "ch" will find a folder named "Archive".)
  • Press Enter.
