I agree with Michael.

Why don't you copy/move all messages at once?
Thought you might ask that! Sometimes they are spread across
different pages. Sometimes I miss a couple because their spam
subjects look too similar to real subjects. Sometimes I'm freshly
logged in.
Even just having a default sent-to folder would save lots of extra clicks.
I don't think "sticky" folders are a good idea - when you load the 
next page, you get a folder name showing up in the dropdown instead of 
"Messages To" and that doesn't make much sense.  And if you want to 
move to a different folder, your first inclination is always to scroll 
down to look for the folder, but if a default folder was used, it is 
possible that the sought after folder is located above.

After moving (or Copying) a set of mail to a particular folder, the 
folder drop down has forgotten what it was set to. IMP has reset it 
back to "Messages To".

I have 130 folders in my mail account and it is a real pain having to 
keep moving the "Messages To" to the next folder down each time I want 
to move mail.

I have a folder I place (un-caught) spam into (because I don't want it 
to go into the trash (see #5801)). In this case I have to the keep 
selecting the same folder to move the mail into.
