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 -- erik colson
