I do realize MUA's have move functionality.  What I didn't realize is that you 
were referring to moving with the MUA as opposed to interacting directly with 
fs using a shell .
Sort of got lost "in the translation" so to speak, it happens.

I'm using Mutt to read the downloaded emails and I will look for the 
functionality (I am new to Mutt.)  But moving 100k emails from within the MUA 
isn't  something I would have considered untll now based on previous experience 
with GUI MUA's like Thunderbird, etc., They cab be incredibly slow. But that's 
over an IMAP connection, not local like in this case which will be loads 
faster.
