Version: 4.7 (using KDE 4.7.2) OS: Linux While dragging messages to the folder tree, the UI indicates possible drop targets between mail folders, which does not make any sense with messages. Dropping a message between two folders even displays the drop action popup menu, but selecting anything in it will cancel the operation. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Drag a message to the folder view, and drag it between two existing folders. Actual Results: The UI displays a line / bar between the folders, indicating a valid drop target. Releasing the mouse button will open the drop action popup menu. Selecting anything in it will silently cancel the invalid operation. Expected Results: The UI should not indicate drop targets for messages between folders. Messages can only be dragged into a folder, not into the folder tree itself.
I confirm it. Will look at what I can do.

I’m sorry to report that this bug has resurfaced at some point in the past. For quite some time now I’ve been observing it in my KMail 2 (currently KDE 4.10.4, Gentoo packages). Though I don’t get a popup menu after dropping a message between folders, the drop mark line stays visible afterwards. I can clear it by dragging a message over it again, so that the drop mark around a folder clears those pixels when it itself is cleared.
