What is the error message? Without knowing that, we can only guess at
the problem.

If you moved it to a different real folder without expunging the
original folder, you now have two physical copies of each "moved"
message.

Trash is a virtual folder. The original mails are in exactly the same
place they were before, just marked for deletion. Because of the expunge
problem, you didn't actually move anything, you copied it.
