Hey Nicholas, You must be one of the very few lucky ones to never have had an I hate my mac day. I tried exactly what you suggested, even quit every application closed everything and restarted my mac, then opened mail first after a restart, and still got the message VO cannot drag the item as the item might be hidden. I then did everything the old fashioned way called someone who could see and had them come over. They confirmed that nothing was blocking the mailbox I was trying to move, and I was still getting the same message. I had them drag and drop the mailbox using the mouse, and they were able to do it in 2 seconds, so yes, this is obviously a bug with Voiceover which leads to having a I hate my mac day, as I hate not being able to do something so simple that should take me two seconds.
