Nothing specific, it should be ticking along in the background all the time really in a case like this.
We do see folk here complaining occasionally that they get a few hundred mails synced and it stopped. That is usually the anti virus. They just do not cope with more than a few emails. Disabling email scanning usually takes care of that.

drag it and drop it on it's parent
Only partially successful - some sub-folders did not relocate. Attempts to drag those left behind seems to work some times, not others - don't know if it's a synch issue with IMAP.
if there is a lot of mail the resync and re-download could take a day or more. Especially if you have an anti virus that is scanning everything going out and coming in. It is not instant
OK - I guess I'll leave Tbird running and see what happens. Is there anything that I can do to trigger synching?
