Hi I am using Thunderbird 38.5.1 on Windows 7 SP1 I am trying to move some emails from my one gmail account's All Mail folder (let us assume it to be "X ") to other gmail account's folder (let us assume it to be "Y "), the problem is that if there are 1 to 2 mails in X the move option works and the mails are moved to Y. But if there many emails from a single sender then the move and the copy option to Y both does not work.

Make sure to understand the Gmail label concept and what 'All Mail' is.

if there many emails from a single sender then the move and the copy option to Y both does not work.

If this is a one time action, to move a large number of messages you may use the Gmail web interface instead, and then sync the changes.

Otherwise make sure your anti-virus software is not blocking Thunderbird mail files.
