use the command copy-message ('C') or save-message ('s').
or if you are using maildir format then
you might as well use the "cp" command... ;-)

the default setup does that - move read mails to $mbox.
"set nomove" to make it go away (or is that "unset move"?).

save them to the folder '!' (your inbox).
