Okay. You copy the message to another mailbox. Then you
delete it in the present mailbox. 2 keystrokes and the
mailbox's name.

There's also this (hit F1 for the manual):

3.10. Using Multiple spool mailboxes

Usage: mbox-hook [!]pattern mailbox

This command is used to move read messages from a specified
mailbox to a different mailbox automatically when you quit or
change folders. pattern is a regular expression specifying the
mailbox to treat as a ``spool'' mailbox and mailbox specifies
where mail should be saved when read.

Unlike some of the other hook commands, only the first matching
pattern is used (it is not possible to save read mail in more
than a single mailbox).

I use procmail to deliver my email into different "mbox-file",
unmatched emails are put in a "default" mailbox.
when I have read them i want to move them into a mailbox
manuually -- seems like I'm a procmail.

I thought there is a command to do this, instead of
'C'(Copy) copy them, then 'd'(delete).
may be like 'M'(move) or 'm'.

Hi!

I think you should read about mbox-hook in the manual.

mbox-hook move in a mailbox of your choice messages read and not
deleted that match a pattern

look also at fcc-hook for move messages sent....

It does work that way, doesn't it! Been doing it so long I don't
even notice the details anymore.

There you go, Jing.

(hit s then = then enter the mailbox name or ? for list of
mailboxes or just use the default mailbox name that Mutt offers)

At least _someone_ is paying attention around here.

It *would* make sense to have the word "move" in the Save command
description in the manual.

I searched \<[Mm]ove\> and didn't find it there.

Yeah !
's' works,

I thought 's' is for save an message into one file , but not append.
I was wrong.

's' would append the message to a file, if you already have some
messages in a file.

Thank you, guys!
