It is possible. My workflow:

1.  ALT-CMD-T to invoke the "Move to..." menu;
2. Select destination mailbox by typing a few letters of its name;
3. ENTER -> Message will be moved

OR

3. ALT-ENTER -> message will be copied

Could it be that it takes a bit more time? Moving between different 
accounts means that the message must be uploaded to the target server 
and this may take some time (depending on message size and upload 
speed).

See above. Its a hidden keyboard shortcut.

It is. I am doing that quite often.
