This doesn't depend on the file manager.  Its also odd that it
doesn't use the GTK file selector.

I was going to write: "Just drag the mouse across the messages", and
then realised it could be interpreted in different ways, so here follow
the instructions I use:

Open Inbox.  Put the mouse pointer on the first message in the message
list.
Click the left button and hold it down.  Move the pointer to the last
message, release the left button.  Right-click, and select transfer.
Then select the mailbox, and left-click.
