No secret - TB used to not like dragging entire folders at all, but
slowly got better - and with 3.0, it got much better.

I just tested some (moving about 4GB Sent folder to a gmail account)
with 3.1rc2, and it moved everything perfectly, although it took a few
hours...

There were no sub folders though... I'll test that next...
