Well, I also run Kmail with UW-IMAP and my problems are similar. I can 
move mails from one folder to the other, but the message list isn't 
updated correctly afterwards. So I still see the moved message. But the 
message body shows already the next mail. And clicking through the 
mails, shows me the wrong message body. When I try to change the folder 
the problem still exist and closing kmail afterwards it hangs. So I can 
kill the imap kio process and kmail starts to close (purging old 
messages, compress folders and close).

Killing the imap kio after moveing the message, doesn't help. I have to 
close kmail.

Don't thing so. my snapshot is from (anonymous) CVS 10 minutes ago.

No. Mostly no progress bar. And when it hangs with progress bar, the 
cancel button doesn't help.

I can also try this later this day.
