Something similar happened a few times in the previous decades, and 
twice it was due to 'unintended drag'n'drop' (which is one of the main 
reasons I try to avoid d'n'd). I suppose d'n'd could be used to correct 
this, but I preferred to copy/delete the involved folders/mails.

SM has rules for d'n'd, and they seem to be quite reasonable (including 
all 'consequences' of a d'n'd), but I find it easy to do it 
accidentally, so try to steer clear).
