In Sent view of mail file, I drag the email and drop to the folder. It just copies the email to the folder and the email still in Sent view. I need to remove it manually. Can someone tell me how to move the email to the folder using drag and drop method like Inbox view.
Thanks,
Ray
Subject: Sent view
You need to understand a little about Views, Folders, and Documents.
1 - A document only exists once in a database, regardless of how many views or folders it may be in.
This means that if you delete a document, it’s removed from the database (and thus all views and folders)
2 - Views show documents in a database based on a criteria (the selection formula)
This means that you (as a user) cannot control what is in a view.
The Sent view is a view - it shows all documents that you have sent. YOU CANNOT removed a document from this view and still have it in the database.
3 - Folders contain pointers to documents
This means that you can control what documents “are in” a folder. Note that the folder only contains a pointer, not the document itself.
Thus, if a document “is in” two folders (i.e. two folders each have a pointer to the document) and you DELETE the document in one folder (and thus from the database) it will also vanish from the other folder.
If you want to keep a document, but not have it in the folder, use REMOVE not DELETE.
