Bug in web app
Describe the bug
When you search for mail in all folders, it's possible for mail in any mailbox to turn up in the result and be selected together.
Moving such a cross-mailbox selection to any folder will cause only part of the mail to be moved (without an indication that the operation was only partially valid and executed).
This may come as a surprise to users and cause unexpected data loss in rare cases (when using the search to recover mail out of the trash or spam).
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior
The least surprising behavior would probably be to actually move all mail into the target folder. This is currently not easily possible.
The second least surprising option may be to deactivate the move action for such selection. This option may cause frustration because it's hard to separate mail in different mailboxes when looking at the search result.
Additional context
This issue has a counterpart when modifying labels on mail in a search result. we should take care to be consistent here.
