Is it possible to move an email from one account to another like thunderbird?
Welcome here! Sorry, no it isn’t.
Hello all, (sorry)
Bad news
Will this feature be planned? this is the only reason that does not make me quit canary mail
Doing this (which obviously only works with IMAP) is fairly “expensive”. The content is copied from the first account to the client (mobile device/K9 in this context) and then back to the second account - even if the accounts are on the same server. In addition to the client system (mobile device) resources, doing this on mobile data could be hard on the bank account. It’s not that it shouldn’t be available, but I think it would need to come with a robust set of warnings so that users aren’t shocked by the full set of resource hits.
I understand all that this implies, however it would be handy to archive emails on a specific imap server. this is what I currently do with canary mail and a Synology

Hello, I would like to add a reason why one may appreciate moving mails from an account to another one : I receive spams and scams on my main e-mail address, which is not a google one.
With another android mail app, I can manually move these scams and spams to my google e-mail scam folder.
And I choosed this google folder as default folder for my main address scams with the other android mail app.
Same parameters settings in Thunderbird on my PC.
So, I hope the scams / spams will be read by google’s robots, that my help to fight spammers.
Despite I find Google is generally a little too intrusive, it seems usefull against scams.
