Gmail question

Hi everyone, silly question, how do I move an email from sent box to another box? I have been moving them to the in box and then to a named box but surely I can do it direct?

  • "Sent mail" is not a folder. It is essentially equivalent to typing from:me in the search box. If you want a sent label that you can manage yourself:

    1. Create a new filter that matches all mail from:me and applies a label (for example "mysent").
    2. Add or remove this label from conversations as you please.
    3. Hide the regular "Sent mail" link from your interface by going to "settings", then "labels" and choosing to hide "sent mail".
    If my post helped you in anyway, please hit the "Thanks" button! Please note any advice I give is followed at your own risk!
  • Just go to sent mail and click select all and then click the labels drop down and move them.

    If you're using the full version, just drag and drop them..? You can tick multiple and then drag the whole bunch onto the named folder.
