really appreciate your help.

I have tried that, but when I press that ~ key, mutt give me some "key is not
bound. Press ? for help" message.(when I say I press the ~ key, I mean I press
<shift>~ , which would give you a ~ when you do normal typing, otherwise it's
just a ` ) That's weird. I have no idea why, but I guess maybe that's because of
my configuration setting, part of which I copy directly from other's blog:
set index_format='%-20.20L %4C [%Z] %{%b %d} %-15.15F (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s'
color index green default ~N # new
color index red default ~D # deleted
color index brightmagenta default ~T # tagged
color index brightyellow default ~F # flagged
set pager_index_lines=10
bind index,pager \Ck sidebar-prev #previous folder in sidebar
bind index,pager \Cj sidebar-next #next folder in sidebar
bind index,pager \CO sidebar-open #open selected folder in sidebar
macro index b '<enter-command>toggle
sidebar_visible<enter><refresh>'
macro index \cb '<enter-command>toggle
sidebar_visible<enter><refresh>'
bind index d display-message
bind index gg first-entry
bind index G last-entry
bind index h noop
bind index l noop
that's all of my conf that are related to index view. Anything wrong ?

~f doesn't work either, because the ~ is not bound(as described above)

If there's some common practice I would really appreciate to hear some. Figuring
it out myself is kind of hard.

Does gmail really have that filter-move functionality? I have searched through
nearly all of gmail's setting, but all I can find is something that only let
you filter the inbox and get a clean view. It can't move the messages that have
been filtered out to other mailbox.
Or do I miss something?
