Currently the right-click context menu does not allow to Copy/Move folders. This is an RFE to include that functionality. To Move/Copy folders one needs to use the mouse to drag-n-drop folders to the desired location. It would be good to have a Move To and Copy To option in the same way it is there when clicking on a message in the Message Pane allows one to do.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the Classic Layout with Message Pane and Folder Pane, select a Folder on the Folder Pane and right click
2. A context menu appears without the option to Copy/Move Folders
3.
Actual Results:
To Move/Copy folders one needs to use the mouse to drag-n-drop folders to the desired location.
Expected Results:
It would be good to have a Move To and Copy To option in the same way it is there when clicking on a message in the Message Pane allows one to do.

This is a major bug in terms of accessibility, because keyboard-only users have *no way* at all of moving or copying folders.

There is no copying of folders currently, not even mouse-only! If that is desired, a new bug should be created.
I would be willing to do the move part (context menu + Ctrl-X/Ctrl-V), but it will be somewhen in the next months rather than days or weeks.
