how soon did you look at the folder to see if it moved? often it *appears* to remain in the old folder until you "close" that folder by clicking on another. That is to say, the client you did the moving in (client 1) will show it as moved, but it will still be in that folder on the server. another client (like your web client, call it client 2) will still see it because the server does not actually delete it until client 1 closes the folder., usually by clicking on another one or by closing the client. which server and which web client? imap is a fine standard, but the implementations are sometimes buggy, and there are ambiguities in the standard, and the client implementations are not entirely consistent. usenet's comp.mail.imap is a good place to go for the real oil. The developers of UW server (who wrote the standard), and courier seem to hang about there. They will expect you to have done some homework, but thats to be expected.
