I copied folders to another account by drag and drop in the lefthand folder view. There is no "copying" message as the operation is basically instantaneous. I use POP.

The larger folders apparently dropped all the more recent messages in the moved folder. No error displayed. Had to inspect every folder to see if there were missing messages. Only a few folders (all with lots of old mail) were affected.

try right clicking the folder, selecting properties and then repair. The index used to generate lists is often scrambled or blocked by anti virus programs scanning major file changes. They are pretty dumb really.
