Do you have the Preview Pane enabled? If so, try dragging the messages from
where they are now (external folder) into the Preview Pane and see if that
works. I think it will since you've stated a similar method works to
drag/drop into a new composition window.

I've got a strange problem with Outlook Express: when I try to drag &
drop
e-mails from it to an external folder, the copy seems to work (the symbol
+
appears), but as I release left button there isn't a copy of the e-mail
I've
dragged.
This trouble appeared suddenly; it happens only with Outlook Express.
I tried a System Restore but it didn't work (it's impossible to terminate
the whole process after rebooting).
I followed the procedure of Microsoft Knowledge Base (article no. 318378)
but I can't reinstall Internet Explorer (the message "Setup has detected
a
newer version of Internet Explorer already installed on this system.
Setup
cannot continue." still appears).
What can I do to get rid of this problem?

Thanks to all (sorry for bad English).
