32579 - Can't move email from one IMAP folder to separate IMAP account

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[Michael Baffoni]

I have two separate email accounts on the same IMAP server.  I can't move an
email from the Inbox folder of one account to the folder on another account.

baffoni - what build are you using?  Are you moving a message using the Move 
menu or from using drag and drop?  

I just tried this in one of our current builds (netscape beta build) and moving 
from a folder from one IMAP account to another IMAP account on the same server 
works.  

What type of IMAP server are you using?  I'm using the Netscape messaging 
server.

-> jefft. Jeff, do we have IMAP-to-IMAP copy yet?

Comment 3

[jefft]

Yes, we do. But I never try different account on same server. Will investigate.

I'm using Netscape Messaging server 3.62.  I tried both drag and drop and from 
the menu, it doesn't work.  Also, when I tried to do a dragNdrop copy within the 
same IMAP server to different folders, it does a move instead of a copy.  I 
tried to get around the move IMAP-IMAP erorr by copying to a local folder, then 
copying from the local folder to the other IMAP, but I think in trying to do the 
initial IMAP-IMAP, it locks up access to that destination folder (can't get a 
list of the files in the folder).

not a blocker bug.  Please adjust priority if this is must-have for beta2.

Well, it looks like I can't do any copies in or out of the IMAP folder, not just 
between IMAP accounts.  I can move/copy between folders in the IMAP account, but 
I can't copy to/from any of the local folders, a POP account local folders, or 
to another IMAP account.  This is on build 2000042008, WindowsNT4.0SP5.  I am 
the admin of the MS3.62 so I went and deleted all of the server index files 
for the IMAP folders (except mailbox.lst) so it could rebuild them (in case a 
prior mozilla corrupted them) but they didn't make any difference, and I have 
no problem copying files in/out of the IMAP folder from Netscape Communicator 
4.72.  Not being able to copy files in/out of IMAP folders sounds like a blocker 
bug to me.

Is this still happening to you on a current build?  We think this is working in 
general.

Mass moving M16 to M17 - look for nsbeta2 before anything else.
