I won't be usually be copying a few hundred messages at a time - I use nnfolders to "expire" old messages to - so usually it won't be more than I sent/received per day expiration time days ago - maybe ten or so messages at max. So the speed does not bother me much. > In any case, there's no predefined functionality. A patch was posted > a few weeks ago to save every article move, but nothing to have the > buffers delete. Can you point me to the patch (or any key words that I should search for)? I tried looking for something like that but didn't find anything. Thx. -- Cheers, -Dima.
