I have a mail server which I access via IMAP. One of the folders was growing too
large, and so I decided to move it into "Local Folders", in particular a folder
with 26 messages that has been sitting around unused for a while.
I went into the IMAP folder, clicked to select the first item, scrolled down to
the bottom of the folder, and then Shift-clicked on the last item. Thus
selecting all 4,499 messages. I clicked the "File" button and requested that
they be moved to the local folder.
It began to count off the messages at the bottom of the window in the status
area. I switched windows to work on something else, and checked back in about a
minute. The status area said "Document: Done", although it couldn't possibly be
done. The messages did not seem to have been moved.
I selected the IMAP folder, but whenever the mouse is over the Folders and
Messages sub-windows I get the hourglass, even though nothing is happening. If I
click on a message it does appear.
I switched back to the IMAP Inbox, and the hourglass goes away. I switch back to
the big IMAP folder, and the hourglass comes back, the "Mozilla" logo in the
upper right keeps going. I click on a message and it doesn't appear.
Basically, Mozilla has become very confused. I can try this again with any tests
you might suggest.

I've actually seen this in a recent build, so I can confirm. Actually, mailnews
just kept crashing on me. This was a few thousand messages copied to local folders.

do you still see this problem?
tested 20091112 nightly copying 6,021 messages from imap to a local folder. (D531 laptop) It only coped the first 350. (I reindexed target local folder to make sure the view was correct
I'd be shocked if this wasn't a duplicat - but I'm not finding a bug.
