Pity, surely the answer to my last question depends on this somewhat.

How is it easy?  If I can't 'navigate' by going up and down
directories from one mailbox to the other it doesn't strike me as
particularly easy.  Having to type in the destination (or source)
directory is what I want to avoid.

I.e. I am viewing some mail in (say) a remote IMAP mailbox, I decide I
want to copy some items from the remote mailbox to a local one.  I tag
the messages, how do I then save them locally?  Do I have to enter the
full local mailbox name?  (What I would really like is to be able to
use the remote name as the local name, see the other thread recently)
