I don't think I ever tried using keyboard shortcut for that in Outlook 2k. :-)
But, it works very well with the mouse. With two rapid mouse clicks, you
can move a message to some folder, and don't even move the mouse at all!
Unfortunately, most everything else in Outlook don't help you organize at

a ploy.
