That's right? Sup doesn't provide a tool to move mail between mailboxes, no. I find that Mutt is actually the best tool for one-time tasks like this. Now, in order to update Sup's index once mail has been moved, it *should* be sufficient to sup-sync --changed on all the sources at once (i.e., in one command, not split across multiple calls to sup-sync, because that will lose message state). But I highly recommend a sup-dump just in case, and try it on a small set of email first. > I also consider to try an alternative to mailbox/maildir that > will both scales up and be backup friendly. I thought maildir was the best solution for on-disk storage... is there something better? -- William
