As I understand the docs, only read messages are moved. And that
works o.k. for me.
However, there were lots of unread messages in /var/spool.
I run mutt everyday at least once but do not always read all messages,
depending on the subject line.
Is there a way to mark - accidentally - all messages as "read"?
