196314 - Folders fail to copy from local folders to pop3 folders

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 188672

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Multiple folders were generated in the "Local Folders" account.  These were then
copied one by one to a pop3 account by dragging the folder icon.  The first copy
action works OK.  After that the copy actions rarely work.  It is not a sure
fire thing that it will fail, but in my experience it is about 90% of the time.
 It doesn't seem to make any difference where in the pop3 account the folder is
placed.  Sometimes the folder name will appear without the contents.  Attmpts to
move the same folder after a failed move can generate a "folder already exists
with that name" message, although the folder has not appeared.  Closing Mozila
and restarting allows you to move a second folder successfully, but it is a
painfully slow process, especially after importing a lot of folders from another
mail application.
