Yes, those would improve things by making the command line 'push'
rather less messy. However they don't end up with the archive having
the same hierarchy as my main mail folder which is how I would like it
to end up if I can.
I have limited quota on this machine (where the IMAP server is
running) so what I want to do is periodically archive and delete old
mails from here and put them on my home machine where space is not a
problem. It would be much nicer if I can still find mails in the
familiar hiearchy there, there's not much point in archiving mails in
such a way that you can't find anything in them.
