I understand exactly what you're trying to achieve with your Zoho Mail conversation management. Let me first illustrate how the current behavior works versus what you want to accomplish:

In the diagram above:

• Orange boxes represent folders
• Yellow boxes represent the moved message
• Blue boxes show the desired location
• Solid arrows indicate visibility of the message
• Dotted lines indicate desired non-visibility

Currently, Zoho Mail doesn't support exactly what you're looking for. Here's why:

1. Current Behavior:
   • When you move a message to a new folder, it remains part of the original conversation thread
     zoho.com
   • The message appears in both locations but shows its new location when viewed in the original folder
   • This is by design to maintain conversation integrity across folders
2. Why This Happens:
   • Zoho Mail treats conversations as unified entities that span across folders
     zoho.com
   • Moving a single message only changes its physical location, not its conversation membership
   • The system maintains thread continuity regardless of folder structure
3. Available Workarounds:
   • Move the entire conversation to the new folder instead of individual messages
   • Disable conversation view temporarily when viewing specific folders
     zoho.com
   • Use filters to organize emails based on specific criteria rather than manual movement

Would you like me to elaborate on any of these aspects or explore alternative organizational strategies within Zoho Mail's current functionality?
