I ticked the emails I wanted to put in a file, but when I clicked on the
'return' button to do so, the emails remained in my inbox. What is going on?

Barbara said:Right: XP Home Edition. I am using Hotmail for my emails. I use Internet
Explorer.
My computer crashed and while it was away for repair, I received hundreds of
emails. I wanted to file them e.g. I am learning Spanish, so have a file
called 'Spanish Dictionary' but each time I ticked on the emails to be filed,
(or checked the files in US speak) and clicked 'Move', located the file where
I wanted to move them, left clicked my mouse and the screen seemed to move
them, but when I looked they were still there.

Then you are using the webmail interface to your account. No local
e-mail client is involved.

There are 2 methods for moving e-mails to different folders when using
Microsoft's webmail client:
- You select the e-mails (not files) that you want to move, click on the
"Move" toolbar button to display a list of available folders, and then
select one of those folders into which the e-mails will get moved.
- Drag the selected e-mails to another folder shown in the tree list of
folders. This would the same *right* click you use in Windows when
dragging around objects (I don't know why you did a left click to drag).
[Right-click means to use the primary mouse button and left-click means
to use the secondary mouse button, so even if you reverse the buttons
for left-handed mouse operation you still use "right" for primary and
"left" for secondary).

Thanks very much. This has worked!
