iOS 16.3 mail doesn’t suggest a destination folder when moving a message

At some point iOS mail stopped suggesting a destination folder when moving a message. iI was a very useful feature.

Hello Jeff627,

"Organize your mail with mailboxes

You can choose which mailboxes to view, reorder your mailboxes, create new ones, or rename or delete mailboxes. (Some mailboxes can’t be changed.)

The Mailboxes edit screen. Optional Mailboxes are listed from top to bottom with a checkbox to their left. The optional mailboxes include Inbox, VIP, Flagged, Unread, Attachments, Remind Me, and more. At the bottom-right corner of the screen is a button labeled New Mailbox.

To organize your mailboxes, tap the Back button in the upper-left corner, tap Edit, then do any of the following:

  • View mailboxes: Select the checkboxes next to the mailboxes you want to include in the mailboxes list.
  • Reorder mailboxes: Touch and hold the Reorder button next to a mailbox until it lifts up, then drag it to the new position.
  • Create a new mailbox: Tap New Mailbox in the lower-right corner, then follow the onscreen instructions.
  • Rename a mailbox: Tap the mailbox, then tap the title. Delete the name, then enter a new name.
  • Delete a mailbox: Tap the mailbox, then tap Delete Mailbox.


Move or mark multiple emails

  1. While viewing a list of emails, tap Edit.
  2. Select the emails you want to move or mark by tapping their checkboxes.
  3. Tip: To select multiple emails quickly, swipe down through the checkboxes.
  4. Tap Mark, Move, or Trash at the bottom of the screen."



You may also try checking Settings > Mail > Accounts > Select the account > Account > Advanced, and then check to see if the mailboxes here are set as desired.


Cheers.
