>Description:
Quoting Charles Bailey from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355248

Moving of messages by dragging the header line from the message "catalog" pane onto a folder icon in the mailbox listing has broken between the Sep 26 nightly
and the Oct 01 nightly.  The drag appears to start normally (message header
line higlights, and outline deags) but the folders do not act as targets (i.e.
do not highlight when dragged over).  Moving messages via main or context menu
commands works fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open mailbox
2. Select message from listing of mailbox contents
3. Attempt to drag onto another folder

Actual Results:  
As above

Expected Results:  
Target folder highlights, and releasing mouse while hovering over target folder
causes message to be moved.

>How-To-Repeat:
Quoting Charles Bailey from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355248

1. Open mailbox
2. Select message from listing of mailbox contents
3. Attempt to drag onto another folder

>Fix:
Work-around is to revert gtk+ 2.10.7 to 2.8.20

Possibly consider making mail/thunderbird dependent on gtk version <= 2.8.20 until this is fixed.
