Move a Message to a Different Account
Although it may not be apparent at first glance, you can move a message from anywhere in
one account to a mailbox in a different account. For example, if you receive a message in your
iCloud account but want to file it in Gmail instead, you can. Likewise, you can move a mes-
sage from a POP Inbox to a mailbox in an IMAP account.
Note: Unfortunately, although you can move a message from an Exchange account to
an IMAP or iCloud account, you can't move a message to an Exchange account from
another account.
To move a single message to another account, tap the File icon while viewing the message
(or, to move multiple messages, tap Edit while the message list is visible, tap one or more
messages to “check” them, then tap the File icon). Tap Accounts at the top of the screen,
then an account name, and finally a mailbox name.
Search for Messages
To search in Mail, scroll to the top of the message list for any mailbox (or, on an iPad, be sure
the message list is visible) and enter some text in the search field. Mail displays matching
messages immediately, even if you don't tap Search; tap a message to display it.
By default, Mail searches in the current mailbox only, but you can search across all mailboxes
(in all accounts) if you prefer. To change the search scope, swipe downwards slightly after
entering something in the search field. Buttons for All Mailboxes and Current Mailbox ap-
pear just underneath it; tap the one you want. Mail then remembers that choice for your next
search.
Unlike earlier versions of iOS Mail, iOS 7 Mail always searches all parts of messages, includ-
ing the headers and body.
You can also find Mail messages (along with other kinds of data) when Mail isn't open, with
the system-wide Spotlight search. Swipe down on the home screen (although not from the
very top edge) to display a Search field. Type in this field, and iOS immediately begins re-
turning matching items.
Tip: You can configure which types of data appear in Spotlight searches by tapping
Settings > General > Spotlight Search.
