I found a bug in Thunderbird 153.0.2esr version that wasn't a problem in previous versions. When I drag an email from Thunderbird into a folder in Windows File Explorer (Windows 10 PC), when I drop the email into the folder, I get an error box titled :Error Moving File or Folder", with the contents with a large red X and text "Unspecified error".

The workaround is to right-click the selected email(s) and choose "Save As...".

Anybody else here able to reproduce this and confirm it is a bug?

I can confirm this. Happens in Windows 10 and 11 with Thunderbird 15x.x, but not with 14x.x
