Subject: expunge without quit

Hi,

Right now, I quit and re-start Pine whenever I want to move the read
messages in my inbox to my Read Messages folder.

Moving those messages without quitting would mean that I have to do the
following steps:

1 - select all read messages
2 - copy them to the Read Message folder
3 - mark the for being deleted
3 - eXpunge

Is there an easier way to empty the inbox, for example, having Pine to
move read messages when pressing x (eXpunge)?

Thanks for your input!
Claus

Have you tried setting up a filter?   M S R F

Condition: all read messages in specific mailbox which has been "read"

Action: Move those messages to Read Messages and set the 'delete' flag

        -- or --

        Delete messages

Then every time you visit the specific mailbox, the filter kicks in.

This does not work, since I am not visiting the Inbox, but I am already
there.

This is my workflow:

1 - Open Pine
2 - Read mail in Inbox
3 - Want to apply moving read mail and deleting them from inbox

I did not leave the Inbox.

Greetings,
Claus

*** if you make the rule, go to into Inbox, read a message and press
eXpunge-it should apply the rule on read message.

OK, I see. In fact, this does it. Thanks!
