how to scan all email and put selected recors into a folder
I have many thousand e-mail (69,466) in various folders across several accounts. I am in the process of organizing the folders and filters.
I am looking for a method to scan an entire account, collect all e-mail with the domain abcdef.com and put it into a selected folder.
Doing a search finds what I want, however I cannot seem to select all and move them. The filter mechanism does not seem to cross folders/sccounts.
Any help will be appreciated.

Right-click a folder, Search Messages, then select the account or top-level folder (and possibly subfolders), enter the search criteria, e.g. From + contains + abcdef.com, then select the messages you want to move (Ctrl-A to select all), then click the Move To button and choose the destination folder.

Excellent. Thanks. I do have a follow up; can it be made to search without going down to the lowest level? For instance;
Customers ....CustomerA ....CustomerB ....CustomerC ........Location1 ........Location2 Can I search "Customers" and fine stuff in Location2?
I tried and it seems to force the selection to the lowest level.
Searching (or filtering) this way you can add additional criteria, by clicking the "+" button, 'Add a new rule', but the Location would have to be present in one of the criteria, such as Subject or Body. Unless you mean something else.
