Drag and Drop in Mail and in Finder

I can no longer Drag and Drop an email from one folder in Mail (the left hand column) to another, and have the receiving folder open up if it has other folders within it. It looks like Apple has added the Move function to Mail. I hope they don't expect us to use that instead. It requires a mouse click every time you have to open lower level folders.

Drag and Drop in Finder is exhibiting the same problem.

I think this behavior started in 12.5 or 12.5.1

By the way, the placement of the Move function in the Mail Toolbar is weird. It includes a text entry box similar to the Search function that wastes space in the Toolbar. The way the Move function UI works should be the same as the way Search works.

If you are talking about Spring Loaded folders, the setting is in the Accessibility System Preferences, Pointer Control.

You should let Apple know. We can't do anything about it.
