Moving a message to another file: not all files are listed by "MOVE": how do I get a local file shown on the left of the screen onto the move command list?

I have some 20 "local" files, but when I want to copy or move a mailing only about half of these are listed as possible destinations. Why are some of then hidden and how can I get the full list to appear in the Move (or the Copy) window?

I can't reproduce that here. I get a whole folder tree to explore.

However, I prefer to use QuickFolderMove.

It turns the right-click|Move To pop-out into a MRU list along with a text entry box so you seek a folder by entering all or part of its name. The beauty of this is that it doesn't care which folder or account the target folder is in. The downside is that you need to have a pretty clear idea of the name of the folder you're looking for.
