There used to be a nsIMsgCopyService.copyFolders()
, but it looks like it only ever supported copying a single folder and so was renamed to .copyFolder()
in Bug 1643208.
This is needed to properly implement multi-folder selection as per Bug 1817605.

Well done. I hope I will get notified when this lands in beta 128 - with my Add-on QuickFolders you could move cherrypicked folders to a new arbitrary parent (picked via a search box), it is something I want to support again as it is crucial functionality for many users. I hope the multiselection support cherry picking (by clicking different folders with CTRL). Will test it once it lands in beta!

Parked until I get some more breathing space - there's other firefighting to be done!
There are all kinds of fiddly little issues that pop up with this one. The whole copy mechanism is a bit of a shambles.
That said, I still think I can probably get it working Well Enough (tm) for this bug, it's just a matter of tracking down the issues and figuring out which ones are actually dangerous and which ones just look scary.
