I am moving over from Eudora, where I had several buttons that I had added at the top to move emails to specific folders like Bills, Orders, Support, Etc. I see I can customize the top bar in Thunderbird, but I can't seem to find a way to make the buttons to automate moving emails to specific folders. Is there a way to make them in this program?
