I could perhaps imagine an edit mode, but I don't think automatic 
deactivation would work well.

The more I think about it, I think a warning is the best way to go. 
It'll solve the problem of accidental moves and it'll give me an 
opportunity to warn about the consequences of moving mailboxes. I don't 
think most users realize how inefficiently this is handled when using 
multiple email clients configured with the same IMAP account (a recent 
[RFC](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8474) tries to solve this problem, 
but that'll only be a theoretical solution for the foreseeable future).
