Remarks

Moves the specified messages to the destination folder.

If the IMAP server supports the MOVE extension (check the Capabilities property for the Move flag), then this operation will be atomic. Otherwise, MailKit implements this by first copying the messages to the destination folder, then marking them for deletion in the originating folder, and finally expunging them (see Expunge(IListUniqueId, CancellationToken) for more information about how a subset of messages are expunged). Since the server could disconnect at any point between those 3 (or more) commands, it is advisable for clients to implement their own logic for moving messages when the IMAP server does not support the MOVE command in order to better handle spontanious server disconnects and other error conditions.
