If you have two IMAP servers containing folders which have sub-folders
containing mail.  Copying/moving the folders to another IMAP mail server will
only copy or move the mail in the currently selected source folder.  All
sub-folders will fail to move/copy mail even though their destination folder
structure will be created.  The expected behavior would be to copy/move the
mail with the folders.  To reproduce create a folder, then create a sub-folder
and copy mail to the sub-folder.  Select the parent folder and copy it to
another IMAP server.  The mail will not copy, but the folder structure will be
created.  I have not tested copying within a single IMAP server.  I came upon
this as I was changing service providers, so I needed to move my mail to
another mail server.  To my horror I had to copy the mail one folder at a time
by selecting the source folder and copying it, then selecting the next one,
etc.  Since I have over one hundred mail folders some under sub-folders and
some two to three levels deep it took a long time.
