Moving messages after adding notmuch tags?

[AJ Lewis]

Hey all,

This may be a mutt newb question, but I'm trying to enhance the
'archive' example in the README.notmuch to also move the message to an
'archive' folder, and I'm having problems.

I'd like to do something like:
macro index A "<modify-labels-then-hide>+archive
-inbox\n<save-message>=archive<return><sync-mailbox>"

But that doesn't seem to do what I want it to.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

AJ,

Here is what I use, with offlineimap I do a pre-sync hook and basically run
this:

notmuch search --output=files -- tag:archive and not tag:archived | xargs
-I{} mv -f {} /Users/user/Mail//Archive/cur/
notmuch tag -archive +archived -- tag:archive

You can see I actually retag archive tags to archived so that I don't try
and re-copy mail that is "archived"

Hope it helps.

Hrm...aren't there problems with doing that 'mv' operation on the
Maildirs?  I mean, can't there be a conflict?  I thought that apps that
supported Maildir had collision avoidance code for the naming - or is
that implicit in the naming, and it will just work?

I'm concerned because my Archive folder has 20k messages and counting -
I really don't want to start overwriting old mail.

Thanks,
AJ
