Where is the Move To feature of Thunderbird

more options

Every other mail program I have used such as Outlook, Gmail, Hotmail etc has a feature called "Move To". I read an Email. I want to save it within the Email program. I select it and then either click the "Move To" tab of the mail program or right-click the message header and select the "Move To" option in the window that pops up. When I click the "Move To" option, a selection of folders within the Mail program is presented to me. I can move through the options and locate the precise folder in which I wish to place my "saved" email message. I click that folder, click "OK, Enter or whatever" and off the Email goes, safe for later referral.

Thunderbird doesn't seem to have this option. The only way I can distribute Emails among my many sub-folders is to drag and drop them with the mouse. How about some help here? Thanks.

Does your mouse have a Right button? You might want to explore that.
