- MAIL has the capability to do what you want (move mail and preserve the From,
- date, subject, etc.). However, to do this you need to have full access to the
- target mail file (since the messages are to be moved rather than sent as
- newmail).
-
- To accomplish this, use the commands:
-
- MAIL> select foo ! 'foo' is the folder name
- MAIL> move /all foo other"user password"::disk:[dir]mail.mai
-
- Of course you need to make the appropriate modifications to fit your particular
- conditions, such as the folder names, username/password combination (or proxy
- access or ACLs or UIC-based protection to give write access). The "MOVE"
- command deletes the messages from the source and moves them to the destination.
- If you want to keep the original messages, use "COPY" rather than "MOVE".

- So does everyone else - it is called MAIL. To correct an incorrect newmail
- count, go into MAIL and use the command "READ/NEW" until there are no more
- new messages, and presto - your newmail count will be correct!
