I have several folders defined in Mutt:
mailboxes "~/Mail/inbox"
mailboxes "~/Mail/sent"
mailboxes "~/Mail/archive"
I can save (move) a message to archive, by pressing s
and then ?
to see a list of folders, and then I can choose archive
from the list.
Since I always want only to save to archive
I would like to have a macro, so that pressing s
automatically saves selected message to archive
, without asking me.
Can somebody please help?
EDIT:
I now have following macro, to save messages to my "archive" folder:
macro index,pager S "<tag-prefix><save-message>=archive<enter>\
:set delete=yes<enter><sync-mailbox>:set delete=no<enter>"
the problem is, the messages stay in index marked as deleted. They are not "synced" immediately. Second, the <enter>
at the end acts as <display-message>
, so that when I press S
, I end up in the pager of the current message.
In a similar way, I am trying to implement the trash
folder in mutt. The following is taken from the Mutt MacroSamples
set maildir_trash=yes
set wait_key=no
folder-hook . 'bind index q quit'
folder-hook inbox 'macro index q ":unset maildir_trash;push \"T~D\\n<tag-prefix-cond>m=trash\\n<end-cond><quit>\"\n"'
but this does not work either. Insted mutt asks me:
Append messages to etmaildir_trash;push"T~D\n<tag-prefix-cond>m=trash\n<end-cond><quit>"/maildir_trash;push"T~D\n<tag-prefix-cond>m=trash\n<end-co ([yes]/no):
what ever I press, nothing happens
(the folders trash/{cur,new,tmp} do exist)

tagged mails:
current only:
edit
My fault, using
tag-prefix
instead oftag-prefix-cond
, will apply the macro to tagged messages if present, else to the current selected.
