Only as a fall back solution, i.e. if it's not possible to move them all at once, try them one by one. If the end user is to move them one by one himself it's still 3 x (number of messages) IMAP calls, but also (a lot of clicking) x (number of messages), so I have to agree with Tonino on this one. I don't know how hard it is to code such a fall back solution. Sincerely, Fredrik. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
