Mail for Mac: Move or copy messages
You can move or copy messages between mailboxes or folders.
Move messages: Drag one or more messages to a mailbox in the Favorites bar or the Mail sidebar. Or Control-click a message, choose Move To, then choose a mailbox.
Copy messages: Press and hold the Option key when you drag messages to another mailbox. Or Control-click a message, choose Copy To, then choose a mailbox.
If you have an IMAP account and are unable to move messages, it’s possible the messages contain invalid characters (typically added by a mail server) or are too large, or you exceeded the storage limits set by your email account provider.
You can use rules to automatically move certain incoming messages to specific mailboxes.
