Another largely unknown possibility for moving messages to another 
folder is to press 'm'. This will open a nice dialog where you can 
select the target folder. If you type something in the dialog, then 
only those folders matching what you have typed (and there parent 
folders) will be shown.

'm' has two siblings: 'c' to copy messages to a folder and 'j' to 
quickly jump to another folder without using the mouse.
