Moving folders & emails to other folders

I have been trying to move certain folders/sub folder/emails around to other folders. I have tried drag and drop and the 'move' option. Sometimes it works, sometimes I get some of the contents and sometimes the whole process just grinds to a halt. There appears to be no common factor to determine when any of these outcomes occur. Anyone got a clue as it is becoming a serious nuisance having to check every sub-folder, finding some emails have not moved and then not being able to shift the missing ones as the whole process has stopped.

There is a File button in the customize window for the toolbar. I find it works very well for moving files around between folders, and even between accounts.
