This section describes this facility. +.pp +To use the folder facility, you must tell +.i Mail +where you wish to keep your folders. Each folder of messages will +be a single file. For convenience, all of your folders are kept in +a single directory of your choosing. To tell +.i Mail +where your folder directory is, put a line of the form +.(l +set folder=letters +.)l +in your +.i .mailrc +file. If, as in the example above, your folder directory does not +begin with a `/,' +.i Mail +will assume that your folder directory is to be found starting from +your home directory. Thus, if your home directory is +.b /home/person +the above example told +.i Mail +to find your folder directory in +.b /home/person/letters . +.pp +Anywhere a file name is expected, you can use a folder name, preceded +with `+.' For example, to put a message into a folder with the +.b save +command, you can use: +.(l +save +classwork +.)l +to save the current message in the +.i classwork +folder. If the +.i classwork +folder does not yet exist, it will be created. Note that messages +which are saved with the +.b save +command are automatically removed from your system mailbox. +.pp +In order to make a copy of a message in a folder without causing +that message to be removed from your system mailbox, use the +.b copy +command, which is identical in all other respects to the +.b save +command. For example, +.(l +copy +classwork +.)l +copies the current message into the +.i classwork +folder and leaves a copy in your system mailbox. +.pp +The +.b folder +command +can be used to direct +.i Mail +to the contents of a different folder. +For example, +.(l +folder +classwork +.)l +directs +.i Mail +to read the contents of the +.i classwork +folder. All of the commands that you can use on your system +mailbox are also applicable to folders, including +.b type , +.b delete , +and +.b reply . +To inquire which folder you are currently editing, use simply: +.(l +folder +.)l +.pp +To list your current set of folders, use the +.b folders +command. +.pp +To start +.i Mail +reading one of your folders, you can use the +.b \-f +option described in section 2. For example: +.(l +% Mail \-f +classwork +.)l +will cause +.i Mail +to read your +.i classwork +folder without looking at your system mailbox. |
