Open the message menu select move to and click on the folder you want it to 
go to. Or faster right click select move to and click on the folder you want, 
or alternatively drag and drop (some people hae reported problems with the

You can bring up a menu by pressing the 'm' key but this is a non obvious 
feature for people who truly hate mouse devices.
