You are not too blind. It is currently not possible. The reason for this 
is lack of time. There were some problems with moving folders with 
subfolders, i.e. the subfolders could be lost during the move. 
Unfortunately, we nobody of the developers had time to look into this 
problem. So following the "better safe than sorry" principle we decided 
to disable moving of whole folder hierarchies from/to IMAP.

Just a few days ago, Volker has implemented moving folders with 
drag&drop. I'm not sure whether he has also fixed moving of folder 
hierarchies from/to IMAP, but I guess he did. This will very likely be 
included in the next release, i.e. in KDE 3.5.7.

Regards,
Ingo
