I get the feeling that when you move a folder, evolution copies each
mail individually and the deletes the original. Is this correct? Is the
IMAP "standard" capable of sending commands like the client sending
"Move folder foo into folder bar" and have the entire move done on
server-side? Obviously this would be much more efficient - but I'm
guessing IMAP can't do that?
