Thunderbird 60.6.1 (32-bits). Windows 10. It happened several times lately that when I selected "Move" at context menu the message was copied in stead of moved. It has not been deleted from the original folder (new messages). It works to draw a message. Once the message has been copied and moved back it could be moved.

Me again. I think I've found the reason why moving didn't worked. Move and Copy are close to each other in context menu. When you select Copy the command "... again" is changed to "Copy to ... again" and if select Move the command is changed "Move to ... again". The action alternates depending on last Move/Copy command. The bad click on Copy made that each time I clicked on "... again" caused new copy. Elementary. The context menu got its own context behaviour.
