Description Wade Berrier 2006-08-29 17:52:43 UTC 
I've accidentally moved several folders at a time either within the same account or to another account.

Movig large amounts of messages or folders is not a frequent use case, and usually a mistake (especially with a trackpad).

It would be nice if there was a confirmation dialog when moving folders or large amounts of messages to alleviate this.
Comment 1 André Klapper 2009-01-10 12:01:22 UTC 
Sorry... I'm against having more confirmation dialogs.
I've seen Windows Vista and that was really enough.
Comment 2 Wade Berrier 2009-01-10 15:42:12 UTC 
I can't speak for vista... but this feature isn't uncommon.  Kmail is configurable to have this type of option as well...

In any case, I'm not suggesting having a pop up for moving every message or folder.  I envisioned it only popping up with, "Are you sure you want to move these 13 folders?"

Oh well...
Comment 3 Niklas Jakobsson 2010-03-09 06:52:56 UTC 
There is a configurable option "Confirm when expunging a folder". Why not do the same with "Confirm on folder move"?
Comment 4 Niklas Jakobsson 2011-04-07 05:17:36 UTC 
After moving a bunch of my imap-folders by mistake for the third time in 24 hours, I'm begging you, _please_ implement this.
