All the files are stored in the same drawer and each can have many sticky notes applied. Think of a label like a sticky note applied to a file. The same goes with storing emails in multiple folders – you need to make a copy of the email. The only way to have the file stored in multiple drawers is to take a photocopy of it – meaning there are two different copies. Just like a file can only be stored in one drawer, an email can only be stored in one folder. When you file an email into a folder, it is like storing a paper file within the drawer.
