Tim and Co. Sorry to bring this thread back up. Tim’s suggestion works great with one exception. I can move mailboxes around but I can’t distinguish how to move a mailbox so that it appears immediately below the point where I release the mouse. Invariably, I end up putting the moved mailbox within the mailbox where I release the mouse. I have enough vision to physically move a mailbox and place it such that a thin blue line appears, telling me to double tap and release the mouse. But there must be a command that distinguishes between putting the moving mailbox within the destination and putting it below the destination. What am I doing wrong?
