I was trying to setup mutt to move deleted mail to a mailbox on my IMAP server named "Deleted Items". This would emulate the way the MS-Outlook client (foisted upon me at the office) works. After searching through the archives I found some macros that looked like they would do the trick.
Unfortunately when I run this macro mutt returns: Create Deleted ItemsItems? ([yes]/no): Running mutt with debugging turned on "-d4" gives me this info: > a0005 NOOP < a0005 OK NOOP completed. mutt_index_menu[558]: Got op 92 mutt_index_menu[558]: Got op 144 mutt_complete: completing =Deleted > a0006 LIST "" "Deleted%" < * LIST (\Marked) "/" "Deleted Items" < a0006 OK LIST completed. > a0007 UID COPY 47491 "Deleted ItemsItems" <=========== HMMMMM < a0007 NO [TRYCREATE] The requested item could not be found. imap_copy_messages: server suggests TRYCREATE mutt_index_menu[558]: Got op 138 I've tried using: folder-hook . 'macro index d "<save-message>=Deleted Items<enter>"' however I get the same error. Anyone have a suggestion, besides using a different mailbox that doesn't have a space in it? diana eichert pertinent parts of my .muttrc file # This makes mutt behave a little more like some imap clients by # moving messages to the Trash folder when they are deleted. Once # in the Trash folder, D will purge the trash folder, and d will # delete one at a time. Unfortunately, the delete-pattern macro # doesn't save to Trash, so be warned. folder-hook . 'macro index D "<delete-pattern>"' folder-hook . 'macro index d "<save-message>=Deleted<space>Items<enter>"' folder-hook . 'macro pager d "<save-message>=Deleted<space>Items<enter>"' folder-hook =Deleted<space>Items 'macro index D "<delete-pattern>~A\n"' folder-hook =Deleted<space>Items 'macro index d "<delete-message>"' folder-hook =Deleted<space>Items 'macro pager d "<delete-message>"'
