If I remember correctly (I haven't reproduced the problem) I typed s=mailbox<enter> to save a message, $ to purge the message, which had been marked with a D, from the INBOX c=mailbox<enter> to open the mailbox and the message seems to have disappeared.
If I omit the $, the message does appear in its folder, but it also appears in the INBOX with the 'D' mark. What I wanted is to clean the inbox, although, as you mentioned, it may be unnecessary. Actually, using the web interface, I found my messages in the Trash with the labels corresponding to the 'mailboxes' I had used. > ... > I've had no problem whatsoever with just: > s=Label<enter> > But then I don't use labels with gmail very much at all because the > search is so good; in fact I have "s" rebound to "save to all mail", > which removes things from the inbox but does nothing else. > Here's all my gmail-related stuff, with comments, in case it helps: > > ############ > # Gmail-related keyboard shortcuts > ############ > # This allows going to space-containing folders > bind editor <space> noop >... Thanks! So I still don't quite understand. After you do an immediate save or a normal save with your configuration, what happens with the message? Is it marked as deleted? Do you find it if you look for it after purging it from the INBOX? I guess that my problem is that I still don't quite get the relation between adding and deleting labels and archiving in gmail, using its web interface, and copying, saving and deleting messages in gmail using mutt.
