Details

Steps to reproduce:

Have two email accounts in thunderbird. Selected a bulk number of emails. then move them to a folder in another account

Actual results:

Emails are copied one by one to the new folder and then bulk moved

Expected results:

Emails should be copied and then moved one-by-one. As it can take quite a few hours to move thousands of emails, and if it is interrupted, then you have duplicate emails between accounts which is frustrating

I should add, the emails are copied over to the new folder, but not deleted from the original folder until after ALL emails are copied over
