I cannot move a folder back from "Drafts" to the "Inbox"

I accidentally dragged and dropped the "Inbox" of a POP3 account into the "Drafts" folder, nesting it there. I tried to drag the "Inbox" back to its proper location (directly under the account), but I am unable to drop it (the cursor indicating a valid drop target does not appear). What should I do?

I am unable to drop items. When I begin dragging inbox into the account, a "prohibited" icon appears.
