Does anybody know how to move emails to folders?

Does anybody know how to move email messages to folders? Just bought this phone and all it shows is inbox and trash.

I need to create folders for my email.

If you are using Google mail, or gmail, there are no folders per se.  Gmail uses labels to keep track of your email and you can assign multiple labels to one message. 

In the Gmail app, go to Menu, Go to labels and you can see all the labels you have.  If you want to apply a label to a message, while reading the message, select Menu and Change Label.  Or, while viewing messages in list view, check the message and then press Labels.

I don't know of a way to create new labels from the Android Gmail app.  I believe you must be logged into your Gmail account on the web to have that functionality.  See this link for more info.

If you're not using Gmail, then let us know what program you are using and maybe someone who is using it can help.

What email service? I don't know of a way to add Folders from the Phone UI but you can do so from the web site for Google, Yahoo etc...then set the phone to sync and show those folders.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I have a Gmail account and will try your advice.

Again I'm a new-be at this and a former iPhone user.

You're very welcome. GMail uses something called "Labels" so when you go to www.gmail.com and sign in, look in the upper right corner for the little gear symbol/icon, click that and then mail settings. When Mail Settings loads, look for the 'Labels' Tab.

You're welcome, Antonio.  I moved from an iDevice to the Razr but before that moved from Outlook to Gmail.  I'd used Outlook forever and couldn't imagine using Gmail or Google Calendar instead but now I can't imagine going back! 

Not sure if you're new to Gmail or just the Razr, but if you need help with Gmail, there's some great help here on Getting Started.  Or feel free to ask!
