Alright, I found the bug (line 653 in compose.c, at least in CVS). The
fix will be somewhat along the lines of the postponed-messages folder
hack: close the current folder without expunge, open the new folder to
select the messages, when done close it and open the original folder
read-only.
I'd really like to support a user-configurable number of concurrent
connections to the same IMAP server, but that's for a later version. I
want to get IMAP support reasonably complete and stable first.
