7.10 Copying messages across worlds

"Refile" described above is moving messages in the same world. By contrast, you may want to move messages from a world to another world. You can accomplish this by copying messages from a world to another and deleting the original messages. Here we describe how to copy messages to another world.

You may want to copy a message to a local folder. For this, type ‘lc’. If you execute ‘lc’ in a remote folder, Mew removes information related to the remote folder from the cached message and copy it to a local folder. (You can use ‘lc’ in a local folder, too. In this case, a message is moved in the same world.)

To opy a message in a folder to an IMAP folder (the server side), type ‘li’.

To copy messages marked with ‘*’ to a local folder, use ‘mlc’. To copy messages marked with ‘*’ to an IMAP folder, use ‘mli’.

Here is a summary of commands which copy messages from a world to another.

‘lc’

‘mlc’

Copy messages marked with ‘*’ to a local folder.

‘li’
