Subject: Can I mark or tag all email and move to another folder?

I have two main folders: The INBOX for received mail and SENTMAIL for
mail I have sent. There are now about 500 messages in each of these.
What I would like to do is have all the mail in one folder, sorted by
date order.

I can save messages individually to another folder and then Sort them.
However, messages need to be saved one at a time. Can I "select" all
messages and save them all at once? Having done that for both folders,
I will have a larger folder that contains all the messages, but they
will be added on to each other, not in date order. I can then do a
sort by date order, but then how can I save the messages *in sorted
order*? The messages will not be saved in that order and I wish to
print the folder on to paper for my records so I need a file that is
already sorted.

I would like to do this with folders I have pulled off my shell
account and manipulate locally using PC Pine rather than on the shell
account. So any differences in this regard between the Unix and PC
versions of Pine are significant.

Any ideas?

Regards,

David Maddison

I think I can help you,  I don't know the differences of PC pine to Unix
Pine, but here I go.  In the configuration there is a feature called
enable-aggregate-command-set this feature allows you to use the ";"
(semicolon) to select messages by to:, form:, date, number, all,
etc...then you can use the A command which will 'apply' other commands to
the selected messages (i.e. save, forward, reply, etc...).
Then to have that one folder sort automatically by date:  in the
configuration screen there is a feature that you can set the sort key to
what ever you want, in your case you want it by date :

sort-key               =
            Set       Sort Options
            ---   ----------------------
            ( )  Date               
            (*)  Arrival
            ( )  From
            ( )  Subject
            ( )  OrderedSubj
            ( )  Reverse Date
            ( )  Reverse Arrival
            ( )  Reverse From
            ( )  Reverse Subject
            ( )  Reverse OrderedSubj

Hope this helps!!!
