It does.  Don't use the plaintext editor - use the HTML editor.

When I select text, then drag and drop it (with my mouse) to another 
location in an email message during New Message creation or 
reply/forward of a message, the text stays where it was.  I expect all 
text editing and message creation features to work AT LEAST as well as 
they do in my Google Chromium or Mozilla Firefox Browser standard 
webmail applications like Google, Live, etc.

HOW COMPLICATED CAN THIS BE, with WYSIWYG web mail editors having 
existed since the early 1990's?  You can get the code FREE from 
LibreOffice.  Why not ask for help with this from the piles of code 
already available.

Let me point out that the ONLY REASON I use Horde Groupware for 
webmail is that most of the other free versions suck worse, and I 
spurned Horde for years in favor of Outlook or Thunderbird BECAUSE the 
GUI was so ugly and tedious to use, and messing with email was so 
frustrating and labor intensive.   I just started using it to avoid 
having to spin up thunderbird and put up with its lethargy in 
downloading all the cached email through IMAP under UBUNTU (I use 
tbird all the time under Windows 8, and it has its own annoyances).   
But Horde's editor is a SUPREME PAIN IN THE NECK.  It needs to do drag 
and drop of images, text, links, and other content seamlessly.

I don't write merely to complain.  I want to USE horde a lot more in 
the future.  And I need it to function practically before I make that 
commitment.  I and MILLIONS OF OTHER CPANEL WEBMASTERS.

Yes, I know, I can use LIVE.com and GMAIL and YAHOO MAIL, and ZOHO, 
but I have to put up with THEIR business models and space limitations. 
  I already spend $100 a month on a dedicated server.  I'm hoping 
Horde can become my email program of choice among all of them.  In 
order for this to happen, HORDE developers must

1.  Make the editor into a world class substitute for libreoffice 
writer, more on the order of Google Docs

2.  Provide ever more sophisticated management, import, export and 
linking of address books.  For example, I need merge and purge 
functions to simplify address cleanup, full integration with my 
Android (Nexus 5, etc) phone and tablet contact lists, ability to 
email-merge to groups of contacts, and more intuitive finding of 
contacts among my other address books.  For example, I want to list 
all my address books with other mail programs or webmail programs, 
including Outlook and thunderbird on my PC, and HORDE's address 
location service needs to look for matching text or emails among all 
of them.  It also needs an easier way of synchronizing with 
thunderbird and outlook contact lists.  I have read instructions on 
this, but haven't a clue how to set up thunderbird to access Horde's 
address book, or vice versa.  We need a simpler, bulletproof method 
that normal users can use.  Also, Horde needs to add date tokens to 
every element in an address book entry.  Creation date becomes the 
starting token, then whenever an element changes, Horde adds the 
current date token to it without erasing the old element which the new 
element replaced.  This would add to the bulk of the address book over 
time.  But it would make merging, and purging of multiple entries very 
easy, and it would keep people from losing valuable stuff..  Horde 
needs to recommend address book maintenance to the user by detecting 
duplicates.  It also needs to conjecture about the name when only the 
email address exists for an entry.

3.  Provide better archiving for YEARS of email caches.  From the 
practical viewpoint, I let my email build up in imap for a year, 
purging the spam and stuff not worth saving as the days roll by. At 
the end of the year, I move everything into the archive for that year, 
with some messages going into a special topical archive folder for 
that year and topic.  Sometimes I need to search one or more archives 
to find certain content.  I really would like a feature like that 
built into horde, something that automates the process.  Remember that 
many users might want to leave a legacy of their thoughts (sent mail), 
and discussion threads on certain topics for their heirs.  Why 
shouldn't Horde provide that feature as a tool for improving 
civilization?  People could bequeath their archives to historical 
societies, and Horde could facilitate this, and earn search fees from 
libraries and research institutions and governments for access.  Horde 
could facilitate stashing the archives at archive.org. but maintain a 
local horde catalog of everything in the bequeathed archives.  Without 
such a service, much if not most valuable stuff that people write 
simply disappears when they die or suffer a life crisis like divorce, 
war, changing jobs, leaving educational institutions, etc.

Please don't mistake my comments for complaints.  I felt delighted to 
see the new user interface. Thanks for all the hard work and devotion.
