I.e. when you drag a foo/bar IMAP folder to baz folder, shouldn't you issue IMAP "RENAME foo/bar baz/bar" command as well? But if you drag it to, say, POP folder, it is impossible to move folder like this, so it seems like you sometimes have to physically move the folder as well but not always -- isn't this confusing? 2. which settings should the folder keep? Remember that it inherits them from its parent, but if it is going to have a new parent, should it adapt the new settings or not? If yes, dragging an IMAP folder to another IMAP server (with different username/password) and not physically copying it will make it inaccessible. If not, it might defeat the whole purpose of moving it.

I don't think so.
