You can create files to organize your mail messages. You use
the same commands to create a mail file that you use to create a
folder: COPY, MOVE, and FILE. After Mail prompts you for the name
of the folder, it also prompts you for a file name. If you enter
a new file name at the File: prompt, a new mail file is created.
For example, to move the current message into a folder named FEED
in the ACCOUNTS file, enter the following commands:
MAIL> MOVE
_Folder: FEED <Return>
_File: ACCOUNTS <Return>
The MOVE command creates the mail file ACCOUNTS.MAI (if it does
not already exist), moves the current message into the FEED
folder, and deletes the message from its current folder and file.
To work within a mail file other than the default file (usually
a file called MAIL), use the command SET FILE to specify the
alternate file. The command SHOW FILE displays the name of the
current mail file. When you change mail files, Mail deletes the
messages in the WASTEBASKET folder of the current mail file if
AUTO_PURGE is set, and closes the mail file that you were using.
