[Q] IMAP email copy between accounts ??

---

Hi all,
I can't really believe that there is no email app for android that allows simple and easy copy (move) of emails between two IMAP accounts ?? On the iphone that's a built-in feature. I tried all ROMs here and it seems they all use the AOSP email.apk which does not support moving across accounts, only to and fom folders within the same account.

EXAMPLE:
I have one personal and one business account, both on the same IMAP server but with different email addresses and credentials, obviously. So now I get an email in my personal inbox that I want to "sort" into a subfolder of the business account.

Which email client can do that? I tried pretty much every single email app in the play store, not even the goot ones like Kaiten, Maildroid or Inomail can do it

What now? I can't believe my iPhone->Android transition is being held up by something this basic ?!

Wow, no one has this problem? Is it just so uncommon to have two IMAP accounts?

Any solution for this yet ?

Forward both accounts to Gmail and write rules to filter to different folders?

Yes I know that's a bootleg workaround but I need "real" imap access, so I can move messages from one account to the other.

I need to transfer email between Exchange and IMAP. I'm assuming I'm going to have the same problem you are? So I shouldn't waste my time downloading all the email apps on the Market to try them?

Shocking that no email client on Android can do what the iPhone 3GS could do in 2010

Well, it can be done. And I did it back in 2010 when I had my captivate and moved from yahoo imap to gmail. I am not positive about this, but I think I used K9.
I had the paid imap on yahoo, added both accounts to the client I was using. I tried several before I got it to work. I believe it was K9 because I also used PGP for encryption.
It is free, so give it a try. I apologize for not being 100% positive. I'm now retired and just use good ole Gmail

I am facing the same problem using K9. I can not see imap folders other than the same account I am copying from. Any other app solving this problem or the settings to do it with K9?
