- Of course they are unread - they just got there and have not been read

- not deleted is stored. Moving it simply stores it somewhere else. Do you
- want to -keep- this old mail or do you want to recover the storage?
- Options:
- you read your mail on-line at your ISP: Save the old mail you want to
- keep to a named file then dl (use the sz command) the file, check it,
- then delete the copy on your ISP.
- you read off-line via a SLIP/PPP account: Save the wanted messages to a
- floppy or ZIP disk rather than your hard drive, making sure you keep your
- total within the storage capacity of your removable media.
