Can't drag Mail messages with mouse

I am having this same issue by the sounds of it. If I select multiple email messages, and drag them like I would have normally in leopard to a folder (mailbox), only one of the selected emails gets dragged to the folder and leaves the other(s) in the mailbox. Really frustrating and throwing me off in a big way.

Any ideas?

I also have the same problem after updating to 10.6.1

In my inbox, I can select multiple messages and when I try and drag them into a mailbox to organize, only one of the messages will transfer over and I have to do them one at a time.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Rob

Im having this problem too. Its making my inbox fill up rather quick....It would be nice if apple would acknowledge this problem...

Really?

No one has any ideas on this issue? It's rather tedious to have to select emails over and over again.

same problem here

I found if you use the Message> Move to command that works where dragging doesn't.

Correct. If you highlight multiple emails, then right click and move to the folder/mailbox, it works. But it does not work when dragging emails with the mouse into the folder.

Having the same exact issue. I've been chatting with a support rep since the release of Snow Leopard. We've been going back and forth testing different things out but none have resolved it.

They are unable to replicate it themselves, therefore, we're at a standstill now and asked if I can check my Mac into Apple so they can diagnose it better. Sadly, it is not a possibility to be without my Mac for a few days so I can't do that.

It is the most frustrating bug and I know a few people suffering from it along with those who posted in this thread. I'm dying to know the commonality between all of us that differentiates us from the rest of the Mac World.

Also worth noting things I've tested already with Apple:

1) Setup new user account - still does it

2) Clear all caches - still does it

3) Reimport all email - still does it

4) Start with no email - still does it

5) Reinstall Mail.app - still does it

This same thing is also happening to me. Frustrating bug, started happening when I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Good to see it's happening to other people and not just me. When is a patch going to be issued for this?

I am having the same issue...

I'm having the same issue as well and I've only noticed it after upgrading to 10.6.1

Yup, same problem here. There is a slightly annoying solution--if you select multiple messages, then let go of all the buttons (the shift and the mouse button) then click AGAIN on the messages and drag, they should all move where you want them to.
This definitely changed since I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Used to work without having to click twice.
Oddly, I remember having this same problem a few years ago, there was a brief period in between software updates where this same thing happened.
Hopefully they'll recognize it as an issue and fix it soon...!

And here too - but I found the cause, and the solution. Apple changed the UI so you have to HOLD the mouse down for a moment after clicking and before dragging. Then it works.

VERY VERY BAD UI design change - this is the only application that works that way (e.g. look at finder). Apple: Please change this back, and follow your own standards!
