That's what I was fearing..
I can however create a macro for this (emacs++) :)
I never tested this, but suppose a command fails when executing a macro
(ie. copy failure due to temporary imap disconnection): will the macro
abort (what I hope for) or will it try and continue next steps (which
might harm the mailboxes) ?
best
