Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

I tried selecting multiple messages in one of the INBOX folders on my IMAP
server to transfer them to a local folder
1. by drag and drop
2. by choosing from the context menue "Move to..." and "Copy to..." a local
folder. This does not appear to work although it works the other way round
(batch transfer of multiple selected messages from local folders to IMAP server
folder works by drag and drop)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open your mozilla mailer and have an IMAP account set up
2. in on of the inbox folders of your IMAP server, select multiple messages
3. try to transfer them all at once to one of your local folders by either drag
and drop or context menu commands

Actual Results:  
Nothing - the command is not executed

Expected Results:  
move or copy all selected messages from the IMAP servers inbox folder to my
local folder

On our system, copying multiple messages word while we were using UW-IMAP, but
after a switch this started happening whenever copying something from any IMAP
folder except INBOX to a local folder.

please upgrade to a newer trunk build. I believe this is fixed now.
