Subject: Q: how to use the 'incoming-archive-folders' feature?

From: Florian Kolbe <[email-masked]>

Ok, I won't get this to work, and it's probably some syntax error or I am
totally misunderstanding this feature.

I have an extra incoming folder nicked 'pine-info' sitting in
~/mail/lists/pine-info (that's fed via procmail):

incoming-folders=pine-info mail/lists/pine-info

This folder 'by itself' works perfectly.

But I want the read messages from '~/mail/lists/pine-info' to be auto-moved to
an archive folder '~/mail/lists/pine-info-archived':

incoming-archive-folders = mail/lists/pine-info mail/lists/pine-info-archived

                      [X]  auto-move-read-msgs

I don't have 'read-message-folder' set, because I don't want this feature
for other folders.

Are these settings correct? Because it doesn't work. I also tried prefixing
a ~/ but this didn't work either. When I leave the 'mail/lists/pine-info'
folder (by opening INBOX for example) I get the status 'Closing folder
pine-info, keeping 303 messages' and the messages are not moved.

I tried 'pine -d 9' but it doesn't give me anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

Florian,
I haven't tried using the syntax you did, with the absolute path for the
source folder, so there may be a bug there... but I use this form, with
the nickname of the source folder, successfully:

incoming-archive-folders = IMAP imap-arch
                           IMAPEXT imapext-arch
                           PINE pine-arch
                           PINE-INFO pine-info-arch
                           PINE-SUGGESTIONS pine-sug-arch

-teg

> incoming-archive-folders = mail/lists/pine-info mail/lists/pine-info-archived

<etc>
