Slowly does it.
Select the mail in question in the email list box - mine is top right,
and it says Subject / From / Date ?Size
Right click on the mail (let's assume its claws-mail-users)

Select create filter rule > automatically
(works well for mailing lists)

up comes a big dialogue box
the first line is blank. Its optional
the next line has the query which will select claws-mail-users mail
the next line ACTION is blank.

This is where you fill in the destination etc, so you click the box to
the right "Define"

and the first action is (guessed as) MOVE
then you need to select the destination
click ADD
back to the first big box, click ADD
and CLOSE
