Objective: wish to move all messages from IMAP sent folder to a local folder,
which I've named "sent archive". This keeps my IMAP mailbox from overflowing due
to large sent messages.

- select all messages in sent folder.
- drag or cut/paste to local folders/sent archive
- nothing!!

I am able to drag or cut/paste single messages. But, this takes a long time.
Other folders, such as the inbox, permit moving groups of messages, only the
remote sent folder has the problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. read details above
2. re-read
3. re-re-read

Actual Results:  
ref details

Expected Results:  
ref. details

Hello
I use mozilla 1.7.5, Windows 2000 french up to date.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; fr-FR; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217

the movement of the received mails is not stable: 
1) I select one or several messages in the received mails folder
2)click on the right button of the mouse "move to local folder" or drag to local
folders
=> sometimes, it works for all the messages
=> sometimes it works for the messages of some correspondents then stops itself
for the others

in the window "subject or the sender contains" :
=> Sometimes the messages are selected as soon as I hit the first characters, 
=> sometimes I must validate by the key to enter. 
 
That happened also with the preceding versions.
  
Thank-you.  
Best regards
Daniel
