Description
Feature Request
A mail should be moved to a folder of another mailbox (with IMAP).
Summary
Currently, a mail can only be moved to a folder in the same mailbox. I have several mailboxes. One mailbox serves as an archive for certain mails. I would like to be able to move a mail from another mailbox to a folder in the archive mailbox.
Use case / example
Mailbox 1 = gmail.com
Mailbox 2 = me@myname.de
I receive a mail with important data in mailbox 1. I would like to keep this mail permanently. To do this, I move it to my IMAP mailbox 2.
