Hi Ila, my experience in the past has been sometimes when I hit escape, the message disappears, so I press alt tab and I usually find it, hope that helps.

It does not go into the deleted messages--or at least it does not seem to--so is it better to just use control+shift+v when I am in the message to place it in the folder that I want it in? Sincerely, Ila
