As an alternative, you might want to look at IMAPFilter (imapfilter.sf.net). It will connect to your IMAP server and filter the mailbox per your wishes. Given that mutt+isync has to upload the messages that you've moved to other mailboxes, using something like IMAPFilter is more efficient.

I had this problem with mail forwarded from my VMS account; its mail
facility expanded groups to a big list on the header lines. I came up
with this procmail rule:
FORMAIL=/path/to/formail
TO=`${FORMAIL} -zx To:`
CC=`${FORMAIL} -zx Cc:`
:0 f
* ^A1-type:
| ( \
if [ `echo $TO | wc -l` -gt 5 ] ; then \
${FORMAIL} -R To: X-VMS-Long-To-Header: | \
${FORMAIL} -I To: X-VMS-Long-To-Header:;; \
else \
cat; \
fi; \
) | ( \
if [ `echo $CC | wc -l` -gt 5 ] ; then \
${FORMAIL} -R Cc: X-VMS-Long-Cc-Header: | \
${FORMAIL} -I Cc: X-VMS-Long-Cc-Header:;; \
else \
cat; \
fi; \
)
This saves the original to: and cc: headers to X-VMS-Long-??-Header:,
and strips out the corresponding ??: header, whenever the list occupies
more than 5 lines. This might not work for you if your header lines are
all in one long line, but if they're properly continued rfc822 headers,
it should be ok.
You'd want to adapt it a little, of course.

odd new mail problem
All of a sudden, with no changes to mutt, one mailbox (by far the largest, if is makes a difference), is acting weird as far as new mail notification. It will notify me in the status bar that there is new mail, and I see that mailbox at the bottom of mutt, but after a few seconds, the 'Inc' in the status bar disappears, and hitting 'c' will not tell me about this mailbox, even though there is indeed new mail there. The time stamp of the mail file is also indeed updated. Anyone know why it would be doing this all of a sudden? Could the file size have anything to do with it? It's about 23 megs. Thanks. -Ken
