displaying, on the display, a user interface of a messaging application;

while displaying the user interface of the messaging application, concurrently displaying, on the display:

at least a portion of a representation of a message, wherein the message is included in a first message folder of a plurality of message folders that are associated with the messaging application, and

the plurality of message folders, wherein the plurality of message folders include a second message folder that does not include the message;

while concurrently displaying at least the portion of the representation of the message and the plurality of message folders, detecting, via the one or more input devices, user selection of the second message folder that is different from the first message folder; and

in response to detecting the user selection of the second message folder:

moving the message from the first message folder to the second message folder such that the message is included in the second message folder and not included in the first message folder; and

displaying, after detecting the user selection of the second message folder and on the display, a graphical indication that the message has been moved from the first message folder to the second message folder.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

prior to concurrently displaying at least the portion of the representation of the message and the plurality of message folders, concurrently displaying, in the user interface of the messaging application:

message information corresponding to the message, and

a move affordance;

detecting, via the one or more input devices, user selection of the move affordance; and

in response to detecting the user selection of the move affordance, displaying, on the display, the plurality of message folders.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

in response to detecting the user selection of the second message folder:

displaying, on the display, a visual indication that the second message folder was selected for moving the message.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

while displaying the plurality of message folders:

in accordance with a determination that a respective message folder includes one or more unread messages, displaying, at a location corresponding to the respective message folder, a numerical value indicating the number of unread messages.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein displaying the graphical indication comprises:

moving the representation of the message from a first location on the display to a second location on the display corresponding to the second message folder, and

ceasing to display the representation of the message upon the message reaching the second location such that the representation of the message appears to move into the second message folder.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the displaying the graphical indication comprises sliding the representation of the message across the display.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a display and one or more input devices, the one or more programs including instructions for:

displaying, on the display, a user interface of a messaging application;

while displaying the user interface of the messaging application, concurrently displaying, on the display:

at least a portion of a representation of a message, wherein the message is included in a first message folder of a plurality of message folders that are associated with the messaging application, and

the plurality of message folders, wherein the plurality of message folders include a second message folder that does not include the message;

while concurrently displaying at least the portion of the representation of the message and the plurality of message folders, detecting, via the one or more input devices, user selection of the second message folder that is different from the first message folder; and

in response to detecting the user selection of the second message folder:

moving the message from the first message folder to the second message folder such that the message is included in the second message folder and not included in the first message folder; and

displaying, after detecting the user selection of the second message folder and on the display, a graphical indication that the message has been moved from the first message folder to the second message folder.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 7 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

prior to concurrently displaying at least the portion of the representation of the message and the plurality of message folders, concurrently displaying, in the user interface of the messaging application:

message information corresponding to the message, and

a move affordance;

detecting, via the one or more input devices, user selection of the move affordance; and

in response to detecting the user selection of the move affordance, displaying, on the display, the plurality of message folders.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 7 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

in response to detecting the user selection of the second message folder:

displaying, on the display, a visual indication that the second message folder was selected for moving the message.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 7 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

while displaying the plurality of message folders:

in accordance with a determination that a respective message folder includes one or more unread messages, displaying, at a location corresponding to the respective message folder, a numerical value indicating the number of unread messages.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein displaying the graphical indication comprises:

moving the representation of the message from a first location on the display to a second location on the display corresponding to the second message folder, and

ceasing to display the representation of the message upon the message reaching the second location such that the representation of the message appears to move into the second message folder.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the displaying the graphical indication comprises sliding the representation of the message across the display.

13. A method, comprising:

at an electronic device with a display and one or more input devices:

displaying, on the display, a user interface of a messaging application;

while displaying the user interface of the messaging application, concurrently displaying, on the display:

at least a portion of a representation of a message, wherein the message is included in a first message folder of a plurality of message folders that are associated with the messaging application, and

the plurality of message folders, wherein the plurality of message folders include a second message folder that does not include the message;

while concurrently displaying at least the portion of the representation of the message and the plurality of message folders, detecting, via the one or more input devices, user selection of the second message folder that is different from the first message folder; and

in response to detecting the user selection of the second message folder:

moving the message from the first message folder to the second message folder such that the message is included in the second message folder and not included in the first message folder; and

displaying, after detecting the user selection of the second message folder and on the display, a graphical indication that the message has been moved from the first message folder to the second message folder.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

prior to concurrently displaying at least the portion of the representation of the message and the plurality of message folders, concurrently displaying, in the user interface of the messaging application:

message information corresponding to the message, and
