I have just moved 7 files from one subfolder to another under the same IMAP account, worked just fine. Even Ctrl-Z to undo worked fine.
What is a "file" in this context?
Sorry, I meant "mail" of course.
If you mean "mails", then yes, mails from a subfolder of inbox can be moved. Not from the inbox itself. I never had subfolders of Inbox, so I never tried.
a) move one mail from INBOX to subfolder of INBOX - works. Also Ctrl-Z.
I would think this to be one of the most essential operations, specifically for messages that are not filtered into folders automatically.
b) move one mail from INBOX to subfolder under Local Folders works. Also Ctrl-Z.
Here it doesn't. With drag and drop it doesn't. I can make a video, perhaps.
See <https://paste.opensuse.org/79698522>
That's where my Thunderbird buts the subfolder of the Inbox. Not right below the Inbox at the top. I can not use that setup.
I'm not sure I understand - are you unable to create a subfolder under Inbox? (I see several already). Is that a new TB, new icons ?
I can create a folder (that 'test' folder), but Thunderbird sorts it to another place (using "unified view"). It is physically under INBOX, but Thunderbird does not display it there. See the photo.
It is select messages in one folder, right click, move to, select destination folder. One by one.
See above. If necessary I'll be happy to make a video? I made a couple of screenshots, see attached.
Well, see above, what I move are the old messages from the folder. Typically those older than two months. Not the entire folder. And I do it using Alpine because it runs faster, and makes marking messages with criteria easier.
Maybe Alpine is buggy or functionally incomplete?
Why?
Because you use Alpine and you are telling us about how it does not do things that Thunderbird does, has done for years.
Well, being a text mode program Alpine does not have drag and drop, but it has many features that Thunderbird doesn't have. In this case, it does move/copy operations much faster. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
