NAME

mbxcopy, mbxmove - copy or move messages to a new mailbox

SYNTAX

mbxcopy source destination

mbxmove source destination

DESCRIPTION

mbxcopy and mbxmove transfer messages from the named source mailbox to the named destination mailbox.

mbxmove removes (deletes and expunges) the messages the messages from the source mailbox after transferring them to the destination mailbox.

mbxcopy and mbxmove require that the source mailbox exists and that the destination mailbox not exist. The destination mailbox will be created automatically.

The mailbox name argument is a standard c-client mailbox name. A variety of mailbox name formats and types of mailboxes are supported by c-client; examples of the most common forms of names are:
