Moving e-mails between folders is super slow / unuseable for large numbers of e-mails

more options

I am trying to move e-mails from my inbox to local folders, and it is running super slow. If I try to move a few months of e-mails (~900) the program is essentially unusable. Moving 100 e-mails took 1 minute 14 seconds. I think it might have to do with the size.. I moved a different group of 200 e-mails and it took 49 sec.

This performance seems much worse than previous versions of Thunderbird. I am using 102.4.0 (32 bit) I tried closing the program and re-opening it and I saw the same poor performance.

Note that the message "Moving X of Y messages" in the bottom left window does not update as it progresses. The blue bar on the bottom right does update.

The issue of the "Moving X of Y messages" seems to be from inbox to local folders. It seems to work between local folders. However the time for the movement seems to be just as bad.
