That trick did work, but there still exists some problems when I put more than
one `push` command in my .muttrc:
push
'<tag-pattern>~cmutt-us...@mutt.org<enter>;simaps://ablacktsh...@imap.gmail.com/mutt-users<enter>y'
push
'<tag-pattern>~cmutt-...@mutt.org<enter>;simaps://ablacktsh...@imap.gmail.com/mutt-dev<enter>y'
push '<tag-pattern>~f....'
...
(just as an example)
It seem like that the `push` command would not block when the preceding one is
not finished, which result in that those tagged message would NOT be saved to
the appropriate folder. That means, for example, those mails that
belong to `mutt-users`
folder would now be saved to the `mutt-dev` folder, which is probably because
the second `push` take effect before the first one can finish and the first
<save-message> never get a chance to take effect.
any idea?

Ruan
