Moving emails from one folder to another w/ PowerShell

With PowerShell, I'm trying to write a script that will move an email from my inbox to a folder, once I have finished doing what I want with it. This is what I have so far.

$folder = $namespace.GetDefaultFolder(6)
$filepath = "C:\Users\Documents\PowerShell"
$folder.Items| foreach {
        $_.attachments|foreach {
            $filename = $_.filename
                If ($filename.Contains("test.xls")) {
                        $_.saveasfile((Join-Path $filepath $filename))
                        Rename-Item -LiteralPath '.\test.xls' -NewName "Server.xls"
                        #File move code should go here
                        }

                If ($filename.Contains("test2.xls")) {
                        $_.saveasfile((Join-Path $filepath $filename))
                        Rename-Item -LiteralPath '.\test2.xls' -NewName "Workstation.xls"
                        #File move code should go here
                        }       
        }
}

Right now I have it set up so that it will search my inbox for any email containing .xls attatchments with a certain name, rename the .xls attachment, and save it to a specified folder in my documents. Now, once I'm done with that, I want to move the original email containing the attachment to a folder within my Outlook email called "test folder". I've seen a few examples online of people doing something similar to this, but nothing seems to be working for me. Any advice on how to do this?

You need to use the Move method which moves a Microsoft Outlook item to a new folder.

To find the required folder you can iterate trough them using the Folder.Folders property. See How to: Enumerate Folders for more information.
