📤 How to Move Emails Between Accounts in Mailbird

Need to move an email from one account to another in Mailbird? You’re in luck, as it’s quick, easy, and you have two convenient options to choose from:

  • Drag & Drop

  • Context Menu (Right-Click Option)

🖱️ Method 1: Drag & Drop

This is the fastest and most intuitive way to move a message from one inbox to another.

Below is an animation demonstrating how to drag an email from a Gmail inbox into a Yahoo inbox:
