None of my mailboxes are offline.  I've since done all the moving using 
Thunderbird since I had already deleted the source account (a googleapps 
account) from MailMate.  I didn't wish to go through the tedium of 
recreating the account in MailMate and having to wait the long period 
for full synchronisation.

I did an experiment just now, copying some messages from one account to 
another.  The target account is my iCloud account.  I did a copy and the 
messages were instantly copied locally.  Then after a few seconds the 
target folder (the iCloud Inbox) became active. Presumably this 
represented the synchronisation process where the copied messages were 
being uploaded. Anyway, I got an error, [screen shot 
here](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41751443/copy_error.png).  
Hitting 'retry' took the account offline.  On taking it back online, the 
inbox started syncing, followed by the error again.  I hit 'try later' 
and deleted the copied messages.  It took 3 rounds of error messages 
before I managed to deleted all the messages.  A few were red in colour 
(assumed flagged as deleted) and were removed after an offline/online 
toggle.  I don't know if this is buggy behaviour on copying or a genuine 
problem with the messages being copied.
