A couple of thoughts: 1. Make certain quicknav is turned off when you are attempting to rearrange mailboxes within the Favorites Bar. That process doesn't seem to work if quicknav is turned on. Press the left and right arrow keys at the same time to toggle quicknav. 2. Regarding Zoom, you can check system prefs / accessibility / zoom to make sure it is enabled and to learn which keys are used to zoom in and out. I'm not convinced that a particular zoom level really interferes with drag and drop, but it was referenced as the culprit by several Users after Lion was released, so I think it's worth checking out. 3. For further troubleshooting, please supply some more details explaining each step you are trying and the results of each step including any sound effects you hear and any words spoken by VO. I personally find Apple's VO drag & drop to be hit and miss, but with some patience and practice it can be tamed, mostly...
