This is where I find a single keystroke -- such as md for "move this to the Misc folder that autopurges after 30 days" -- vastly superior to dragging messages to the appropriate folder, where I can often misjudge and drop them into the wrong place.

After installing the plug-in, you can access Nostalgy's setup for key mapping in the Thunderbird Tools menu, then select the Keys tab. Choose whether you want a key to open a folder, copy to a folder, move to a folder or move a message to a folder, and then open that folder. Select the folder you want and type the key for mapping. Done.

While Nostalgy's shortcuts sometimes work slowly on my computer (I've got a lot of messages saved), it's still less annoying than numerous drag-and-drops.
