It started working for me after fresh reinstall, but I have another 
problem now.

I find it hard to 'reach' the folder when moving a message. I move 
mouse over the folder name but I have to move it around for 5-10 
seconds to find the right spot -- to see the rectangle around the 
destination folder, so that I can confidently release the mouse 
button, takes a while. At some points I see a line like this:

Folder 1
  Folder 2
 o-------------
  Folder 3

This line to me sounds like it is attempting to make a new folder and 
place it between these two. Even though I'm in the process of moving a 
_message_! I'm not sure what would happen if I released the mouse 
button there, but I don't think this kind of thing is expected 
behaviour.

I am using latest stable release of GNUMail on Debian Jessie.
