this sounds wonderful. as a die hard mh user, the thing i most need to be
able to do that you have not yet implemented is something like
rmm all +results
for x in inbox outbox todo; do
pick -seq foo -from chneukirchen(_at_)gmail(_dot_)com -and -after '1 jan
2011' +$x
refile -link foo -src +inbox +results
done
and the even simpler:
pick -seq foo -before '1 jan 2011' +outbox
refile foo -src +outbox +outbox-2011
for what it's worth, i stopped trying to do large-scale searching of
my mail with the mh commands long ago, and instead use mairix:
mairix f:vixie s:imap
folder +mx
scan
(where mairix is preconfigured to put its results into folder "mx")
the downside, of course, is that since i run the mairix indexing from
cron[1] at night, today's mail isn't indexed. so i do use pick and
friends for very recent mail. if mairix did incremental indexing,
this wouldn't be necessary.
and, of course, the mairix searching solution doesn't further the
remote access cause at all.
