Mutt: trash folder

mutt

I am trying to set up trash in mutt. The macro at MacroSamples does not work:

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"'

when I press d nothing happens. When I pres q instead of exiting, mutt asks:

Subject: <end-cond><quit>

I have to cancel it with CTRL-c

Can somebody please advise how to set up trash folder that actually works?

This has worked for me for some time:

unset confirmappend
folder-hook . set trash="=trash"
folder-hook trash$ unset trash

That is, move emails to the trash folder when deleting, unless you are in the trash folder.

Mutt: rename IMAP folder

You can rename IMAP folder in mutt, while you are changing a folder and you are in the list of folders:

'c?'

(change folder, then use a list of folders).

When you are on the folder, which has to been renamed, use 'r' key and you will be asked for the new name of folder.

tagged mails:

macro index S ":set confirmappend=no delete=yes\n<tag-prefix-cond><save-message>=archive\n<sync-mailbox>:set confirmappend=yes delete=ask-yes\n"

current only:

macro index A ":set confirmappend=no delete=yes\n<save-message>=archive\n<sync-mailbox>:set confirmappend=yes delete=ask-yes\n"

edit

macro index S ":set confirmappend=no delete=yes\n<tag-prefix><save-message>=archive\n<sync-mailbox>:set confirmappend=yes delete=ask-yes\n"

My fault, using tag-prefix instead of tag-prefix-cond, will apply the macro to tagged messages if present, else to the current selected.
