Outlook drag and drop with public folders.

Hello,

I've had a couple users point out since our migration from exchange 2010 to 2013 public folders that the drag and drop between the folders has changed. 

Exchange 2010:

left click - drag and drop from mailbox to public folder = move mail.
left click - drag and drop from public folder to mailbox = copy mail.
left click drag and drop from PF to PF = copy mail.

Exchange 2013:

left click - drag and drop from mailbox to public folder = move mail.
left click - drag and drop from public folder to mailbox = move mail.
left click drag and drop from PF to PF = move mail.

Does anyone know of a way to change behavior on drag and drop back to copy as the default?

Thanks


Sorry, I forgot to mention that I've tried this with both Outlook 07 and 13.

Thanks for the reply,

I checked OWA and it doesn't appear to work.  I've added two PFs that I'm an owner of and when I go to drag a message from one to the other I get the box under the pointer like it wants to do a move. Unlike with a copy you get the little plus sign under the box.  The move doesn't seem to work in OWA though.  I never see the message show up or leave the box it was moved from.  Maybe I have a bigger issue I'm not aware of yet.  Our exchange 2013 version is currently on CU7.  I do have an outage window scheduled next weekend that I'll be able to update it to CU9 and report back.
