1) Create in the inbox the following messages:
A 2Kb
B 2Kb
C 3Mb
D 2Kb
2) Fill the disk leaving just 2Mb free
3) Move the above messages to another folder (eg. Sent)
4) Thunderbird shows a message saying there wasn't enough space to move them
5) The state is now this:
Inbox: A B C D
Sent: A B
(messages became duplicated)
Given that the desired state is unreachable, it should be left in either:
Inbox: A B C D
Sent:
or
Inbox: C D
Sent: A B
Note that even a check for free space before actually doing anything would help. It could still happen, but would need a race condition.
