I assume you mean MailMate :-)

It's been ages since I implemented this, but if I remember correctly 
then you can only move explicitly selected mailboxes, that is, you 
cannot move an unexpanded hierarchy of mailboxes. It's probably not the 
most tested functionality in MailMate, but I don't think I have any open 
bug reports.

You should at least be able to move multiple sublabels using 
shift-select. Does that also not work for you?
