Gmail, mail etc.

Does anyone happen to know about clearing the in-box? I have a lot of things I want somewhere else, but when I save them to that group and delete the in-box version, the message goes into Trash and is no longer in the second location.

I thought I'd just figure it out, but with so much going on, my brain isn't interested in figuring out the answer. Clearly research is in order.

Interesting --

The guys explained the basic mechanics of Gmail archiving -- the women explained not only how to do it, but what happens and why.

Or it could be dependent on how much time they had, and how loopy they thought I was....

Thanks to all!
