288994 - drag and drop will not let me move local folders to IMAP account

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Greg B]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

Drag and drop does not allow me to move local folders to an IMAP account. After
messing with it, I can copy messages in a folder to the IMAP account, but not
the whole folder at once. 

I am running Thunderbird version 1.0.2 (20050317) and I also tried using a build
from 20050404, with the same results. 

I have not been able to figure out a workaround for the problem.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a local folder
2. Click and drag folder to IMAP Account


Actual Results:  
Nothing program will not allow the operation

Expected Results:  
Copied the selected folder to the IMAP server.

this works for me in trunk builds...it definitely doesn't work in 1.02

Yeah, this is really annoying.  This is completely stopping me from switching to
thunderbird.  Let's make it a severity of "blocker"! ;)

So, if it works in trunk builds, does that mean it will work in the next
release?  e.g, are you guys doing development for the next release, on the HEAD?

I wouldn't say it is working in the head. So far the trunk builds I have tested
won't move folders recursively. So it is only slightly better than the current
version, but not much.

yes, our next release, 1.1, will come from the trunk/HEAD (though we branch from
the head before releasing)...and it did work recursively but that looks like its
broken now :-(

Same for me with 1.5.0.7 both linux and windows.
