indeed I had troubles when I tried to move unexpanded mailboxes. i 
managed to do everything i needed in the end, mixing MM and gmail 
features (included a major cleaning of more then a decade of 
non-sensical labels), changed gmail settings (there was a limit in the 
number of IMAP messages i wasn't aware of), MM at some point said it 
needed to resynchronise, etc. after 2-3 hours I had things reorganised.

but! i'm facing a problem now. i'm seeing duplicated messages in one 
(but not in the other!) gmail account, and when I try to access 
subscriptions to see if something there needs fixing, MM crashes. i 
tried with the mailbox online and offline, but both crash... ah, the 
gmail account which is behaving fine (without duplicates) i can see 
subscriptions all right. I'm on 4587, Mavericks.

any thoughts?
