Thunderbird not moving more than 200 messages at a time
Hello . I am trying to move 2500 emails from a subfolder of the "saved" folder to another folder within the "saved" subfolder. I select the first one, scroll down to the last one and then push shift+click to select all of the emails. I then right click and click on "move to" then select the folder I want to move them to. Thunderbird says that it is moving the messages. When I check the folder it displays all of the emails in the list, a few seconds later it updates from the server again and only 200 emails have been moved. I then select the remaining 2300 emails and try again, and again it only moves 200 of them. A process that should have taken a few minutes has taken nearly an hour. I'd be grateful if I can have some help with this. I last used Thunderbird in April this year (2022) and this was never a problem (I regularly group my emails into lots of 2500 to make it easier to sort them in batches). I am using AOL email accessing via IMAP and am using the latest version of thunderbird. Thanks.

With IMAP those move transactions all happen on the server. Most likely the server is the limiting factor here. Move messages in batches, not all at once.
