Yes, there is a wonderful tool called ;AAS (select all apply save.)
Save it to another folder, and rename. Actually, I think you can even
save to the same folder and then expunge the marked ones.

You need to enable-aggregate-commands first.

However, I have heard that this doesn't work over Imap, only on local
folders.  You might save to a local folder and then back, I guess.

Greetings,
Ørjan.

Ørjan,
Aggregate operations, including save, certainly do work via IMAP.
If you have any info on what's behind the rumor to the contrary,
please let me know...
