[Evolution] Drag folder to IMAP safe?

[Ross Boylan <ross biostat ucsf edu>]

I'm switching systems, and currently running evolution 1.2.4 on Solaris
2.8.  My mail is in local stores in evolution's own format.

I'm migrating to an IMAP server.  With a tree view of folders on the
left pane, I see I can drag the folders around.  If I drag my local
folders into the IMAP folder, will this work?  "Work" has two parts:
1) create a new folder
2) copy the email into it.

I'd prefer to copy without deleting the original mail, and I'm not sure
how to do that either.  When I drag individual mail between folders, it
gets deleted from the source folder.

I gather from this list that IMAP support is bit iffy, and I don't even
know if the folder dragging is supposed to work.  I'd appreciate any
advice.

Thanks.

P.S. For evolution on the new system I'd use Debian's 1.4.3 version. 
But I am hesitant to given the cautions about IMAP.  Any advice on
that?  The IMAP server is Cyrus 2.1, running locally.
