The mail server in question is an SSL/IMAP server. 

I want to move a large number of emails that are from a certain user to a sub-folder.  I performed the search, got a search tab with results.  I clicked to view the results as a list and confirmed that those were the messages I wanted moved.

I expected to be able to either use Message/Move To... or the corresponding right-click selection to me able to move all the messages to the sub-folder.  However, the option in the drop-down menu was grayed out.

How can I move all these messages?  Perhaps the menu will be activated in an upcoming nightly build?
