Thanks for yr hekp guys. As a fomer Windows Mail user, I'm not getting on at all well.
Dragging msg after a rt click from rt. to left hand pane failed to work.
Selecting msg to move to folder lost track of the msg as nothing was displayed to show where my choice was to go.
However I have another more pressing problme which has just emerged.
I used to have under Local Folder a list of c. 12 Folders, all named. They have disappeared.
Quite how a Local Folder appeared as a sub Folder to one of these I cannot explain but I'm vey new to Thunderbird and don't find it much like OE at all!
Any suggestions as to where my missing Folders might be? (Would Compacting have had anything to do with it?
Fortunately they are still on my former computer in Windows Mail.
Also in attempting to make the tiny font size more readable I have now made some panels too large vertically and it is hard to get at the bottom to click on OK.
I hate to ask, but ;time to get a man in'?
