Care to share with us? I'd have advised you to copy messages, not folders.

You can drag and drop messages, but it's a tad unpredictable. There is also a right-click then either Move To or Copy To option which is rather more dependable.

So given that there is no right-click method for moving folders, I avoid trying to do this by drag and drop. Just yesterday I was working with a post where the user had multiple, or maybe duplicate, folders and I suspect that somewhere along the line, a folder move or copy had been attempted.

If you've dragged and dropped folders and it's worked in your case, then I'm pleased for you. But I wouldn't risk it myself.
