I'm trying to move selected emails in my Thunderbird inbox to a desktop folder. I select the emails, then click, drag, and drop, and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

1. Right-click the e-mail in the list and choose "Save As". 2. Find the location you want to save it. 3. Give it a useful file name. 4. Change the "Save as type" to the type of file you want to save it as. 5. Click the "Save" button.
