To move messages among folders, you can drag them, select them, and then

use the Move button on the toolbar, or right-click them and choose Move.

Searching

Praise be—there’s a search box in Mail, right above the message list. After
you type into it and press Enter (or tap ), Mail hides all but the matching

messages in the current mail folder; select any one of the results to open it.

Tip

Using the drop-down menu below the search box, you can specify that you want to search either
the current folder only—or all folders.

Select any message in the list to read it. When you’re finished, tap the
above the message list. Your full list is restored, and the search adventure is
complete.

Writing Messages

To compose a new piece of outgoing mail, hit “+ New mail” in the top-left

corner. A blank, new outgoing message appears (see Figure 10-7).

Here’s how you go about writing a message:

1. In the “To:” field, type the recipient’s email address—or grab

it from People.

Often, you won’t have to type much more than the first couple of
letters of the name or email address. As you type, Mail displays all

matching names and addresses so you can choose one from the list
instead of typing.

You can add as many addressees as you like; just repeat the

procedure.
