Windows Live mail question.

Hey chaps,

Would appreciate some help here,

How in Windows live Mail do you "Select" certain messages in your inbox so you can move them to different folders?

I know you can drag them indivudually,but when you get as many messages as i do sometimes its a pain.

I thought there use to be "tick" boxes in the area next to the message where you could select the message of your choice and move it to another folder, Even bulk selecting but I see no option. :confused:

appreciate the help.

hold down ctrl when selecting? i don't have it installed but that's standard behaviour for pretty much any application where multiple selections are supported.

Yup, normal multi select using ctrl or shift applies.

I laughed. I can imagine the wheels in OP's mind turning like this:

Click mail. Hold control. Click another mail. Wow this is magical.

Hehehe, whenever I show somebody how to multi-select they do usually act like it's some sort of divine gift

That does not work for some odd reason,I tried it.

EDIT-Re-installed windows live and now it works!

It's called irreverent humour. Lighten up. And intelligence contains two l's.

Lighten up?...seems every time I create on thread on these forums lately someone makes a sarcastic/rude comment.

I don't come here for your "irreverent humour", Please only reply to threads if your actually going to give some advice!
