BFD. Go on to the next mail. "Save as..." does just that. In what application does "Save as..." delete the saved entity? Very few, I'd venture to guess. > You have to snap on that, go to the X on the top, and stop it.

All mail clients I know of manage the storage of the messages they manage in their own way. Why should it be otherwise? KMail gives you more options than most, insofar as it allows you to choose either file-per-message or file-per-mailbox on a mailbox by mailbox basis. > I don't have any > directories displayed to drag and drop anything to.

When you use KMail's "Save as..." command, you are in complete control of the name and directory of the file into which the message is save. What more could you want? Manage your mail within your mail client, OK? Why would you want, on a routine basis, to move mail out of the mail software? Once you do it is clearly not under the management of your mail program. Create folders within KMail for each distribution list and / or correspondent, and / or activity you're subscribed to or involved in. Then either manually or via filter move incoming mail to those folders. I dare say, in 2007 this is not rocket science.
