Dragging msg folder to other account=always copy never move?

Post by pstover »

Assume I have defined multiple "maildir" based accounts in my Thunderbird client.
In one of the accounts I defined a new folder "aaaa" with multiple messages inside.

When I drag & drop this folder now from acct1 to another acct2 then this dragging is ALWAYS a copy never a move.

However when I do the same INSIDE one and the same account its ALWAYS a move

Is this correct?

Can I tell TB somehow to treat a cross-account drag&drop as MOVE as well?

I don't think you can. You could always select messages and right-click to use the pop-up menu and select Move... to this folder.
