Drag and Drop Email Messages
OK, it happened again just a few minutes ago and I realized that it only
happens when I have done a Find or an Advanced Find and I'm trying to move
one of the resulting email messages into aother folder. Obviously, this is
one of the main reasons one would do a Find--in order to move certain things
around! When I go back to the normal Inbox view, I am, once again, able to
drag-and-drop.
However, I could swear that this has not always been this way.
Does this new info shed any light on the situation?
Thanks.
