If you are like most Outlook users running Windows, you manage a collection of mailbox folders to organize messages. Over time, your collection can become quite extensive. By adding a keyboard shortcut to your repertoire, you can file messages more rapidly.

Move selected messages to folders

Use Outlook's Move to Folder command to move a set of selected messages to another folder in your mailbox.
