Until a few days ago I could click/drag a message from my Inbox to another contact's folder. Now it has stopped working. I have to copy/paste to the other folder and then delete the one in my Inbox. Any ideas?

I just posted also - what do you mean by "stopped working?" What version are you on? When I try to drag a message from inbox to a folder, Thunderbird goes nuts and grabs something else, often an entire folder like Sent Mail, and moves it. Very frustrating.
