Check the email in the check box.
Press the folder icon at the bottom to choose three new location.

Click the top of your screen where it says inbox, click show all labels, then click trash. Select the email you want then click the change labels icon on the bottom left. Check inbox. It should be back to your inbox now

Gmail doesn't use folders, it uses labels. It's a subtle difference but a significant one. The concept of folders is that an email can only reside in one folder at a time. Yes, you can copy an email to another folder but now there are two copies to manage.

WIth labels, on the other hand, an email can have as many labels as you want. It can be labeled "trash" and "inbox" at the same time. Much more flexible.

True, but there is still only one copy of the email.

I'm having the same problem. Accidentally deleted a message and can't get it back to my inbox. When you click on the check mark beside the email, there is no folder option. There is delete, mark read/unread, and star. I've attached a picture of what my email looks like.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Guys, I am also having a very similar problem re selecting multiple emails and wanting to 'bulk' move them to another folder. If you look at the screenshot of my Galaxy Note 2, there is at times an icon in which you can do this, but at most times this does not appear? I know how to move them one by one, which is to open each individual email and select 'move' from the menu options. I have tried every conceivable thing to have the 'move' icon re-appear on the top menu where the 'compose' and 'refresh' icon or the 'trash' and 'mark as read' icon reside but to no avail.

If you can figure this out you are a genius! Thanks...
