How can I move mails to folders of other account?
« on: April 30, 2016, 07:03:24 pm »
I have several e-mail accounts configured in AquaMail (all IMAP). In one of them I have folders to store all the mail which I want to keep (regardless of the account) - but I could not find the way to do this!? "Move" allows to select folders of current account only, but not of other accounts. If moving to other account this is not possible with AquaMail: Does someone knows which Andriod-App supports such function (I already tested several apps, and found AquaMail is one of the best, but I did not test the "move to other account" - because I could not imagine that such basic IMAP functionality could not be support by a serious e-mail app). Btw.: Forwarding the mail to the other account and then move is no acceptable solution for me.

Sorry, AquaMail can only move messages between folders of same account.

Thanks for your answers - however that's bad news for me :(. Why this limitation - AquaMail obviously can download mails and can upload mails so it must be easy to implement a move? I check my mails with the tablet and it's annoying that I must use a PC and must handle many mails twice.

It's not something many users need, and it's not as simple as it may seem (although I'm sure it looks like a really trivial thing from the outside).

And being the only developer, I have to choose what I spend my time on.

I second on this request as it's a very basic functionality needed to power users. I can't imagine how such a great app with plenty of features is missing this one.
This won't make me stick with this app unfortunately as I'm very used to moving emails between accounts on iOS mail.

PS. As a long-term user of Aquamail, I would agree that it would be a useful feature. But I don't see it as being so crucial as to overshadow all other strengths of Aquamail to the extend of parting with Aquamail.
But then, if "moving emails between accounts" is the main thing one does with the e-mails, - c'est la vie.

I agree with StR.

But I would like to have a useful feature "copy a message to another folder within same account".

That's what I'm missing, it would compensate the lack of labeling in gmail accounts.

Just wanted to say thank you for AquaMail Pro. I found that MailDroid Pro (I paid $6.99 for it) has the ability to move mail between accounts, but the interface is so different as to be unusable to me (what? can't find the trash except with four clicks??).

Don't for a second regret going back to AquaMail Pro nor not wanting a refund for the other program*; it's so easy to use. Saved a backup before; restored and resynced in 2 minutes.

I handle 95% of my email on my phone with AquaMail Pro.
