I got a bit familiar with the lower menu, but ; will just prompt for a 
search. Specific case: in my Spam folder right now there are 2 random 
messages. I could either mark them using the space bar or, as you suggested, 
use a search to match them. I followed your advice and used the search and 
matched both messages in the folder. When I hit O to move them, I still am 
offered to move only the 1 message that came first in the search.
I am still unable to move multiple messages. What am I missing?
