When the box pops up to select a mailbox to move the selected message

Reasonable people can disagree, but I think it’s supposed to be as
fast a process as possible, so the current behavior seems fine to me.
Honestly, my first thought was “You can use the mouse on that
window?” Have you given the keyboard a try there? The search is
Quicksilver-like so you can get the folder you want very quickly. For
example, to select “Inbox → Work Account”, you could just type
“iwac” (or less) then hit ↩.
Fair enough. I do use the keyboard to find the right mailbox, but not to
activate it.
On the clicking, I can’t think of a similar interface where you click
once to select & implement something from a box like that (though to be
honest, that box isn’t very Mac-like at all, is it?).
Speed-wise, a double click is a tiny bit slower than a single one, sure,
but that box just screams “double-click!” at me and my muscle memory
takes over. In fact I just did it again while testing even though I know
how it works! :-)
Another thing: once the move has been effectuated, the box should close.
It looks to me like if I click on a mailbox, it stays open (not sure
why), but if I hit return or double-click, it closes.
So, in my book, very odd behavior in several ways.
I assume the other similar interfaces work similarly (like
go-to-mailbox).
