            Bug ID: 316153
           Summary: can't move or delete messages in imap inbox
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.9.4
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: grave
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

If I drag mail from the inbox, it insists that I copy the mail and am given no
choice to "move" the mail instead. Also, "move message to" and "move to trash"
are grayed out in the right-click menu of a message. Previously I've
experienced the problem many others have of being unable to move messages to
the trash (due to not having a valid trash, or bad shortcut, etc), but the bug
I'm reporting today seems different. This time I cannot even move messages to
other folders, almost as if the inbox is "read only". Other folders do not have
this problem. I can move mails out of other folders, and the menu options for
move/trash are not grayed out on messages in those folders. It is only inbox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on imap inbox to view messages of the inbox folder
2. Right-click a message, and observe that "move message to" is disabled
3.
Actual Results:  
Can't move messages.

Expected Results:  
Should be able to move messages.

Nothing special about the configuration. This is a fresh Ubuntu 12.10 with
latest kmail, and when I setup an IMAP account this behavior was present
immediately. I did not migrate kmail settings from a different computer.

Marking this as Grave since being able to delete messages (especially spam) is
critical. Currently I run a separate email client connected to the same IMAP
account specifically to delete emails from my inbox, while I use Kmail for
everything else. Without a separate email client to assist, this bug would have
made Kmail unusable to me.
