I can't drag emails to folders on my new laptop

I've been able to drag emails from my old laptop to subfolders using IMAP. The folders are on the server and with my old laptop, I could drag emails from any account to any folder, regardless of which account it was created under. I started trying to do that with a new laptop and it won't let me drag the email. I have to go through the move > search for folder > select folder process. It's a pain in the butt, especially if I have a lot of emails I want to move. Since I could do it on my old laptop, I'm thinking it's some kind of setting that I have on one that I don't have on the other. I just can't figure out what I did differently on the new laptop that it won't let me drag and drop the emails where I want them.
