1  MOVE
   The MOVE command is synonymous with the FILE command. Moves the
   current message to the specified folder. Note that the MOVE
   command deletes the message from the original folder, unlike
   the COPY command, which leaves a copy.

   If you omit the folder and file name parameters, you are prompted
   for both; if you supply only the folder name, the current Mail
   file is used and you are not prompted for the file name.

   If (after entering the MOVE command, pressing Return, and
   supplying a folder name at the prompt, but before pressing Return
   again), you decide that you do not want to move the message,
   press Ctrl/C. Ctrl/C aborts the operation and keeps you within
   Mail.

   Format

     MOVE  foldername [file-spec]
 

2  Parameters
 

foldername

   Indicates the name of the folder to which the current message is
   moved. If the specified folder does not exist, Mail asks whether
   you want to create it. If you respond with Y, Mail creates the
   new folder.

   A folder name can be 1 to 39 characters in length. Valid
   characters for folder names are alphanumeric characters, dollar
   signs ($), and underscores (_). If your folder name contains
   lowercase letters, spaces or special characters, the folder name
   must be enclosed in quotation marks.
 

file-spec

   Indicates the name of the mail file to which the current message
   is moved. If the specified file does not exist, Mail creates
   it. If the file name is omitted, Mail moves the message to the
   specified folder in the current file.
 

2  Qualifiers
 

/ALL

   Moves all the currently selected messages to the specified
   folder.
 

/CONFIRM

      /CONFIRM
      /NOCONFIRM

   Determines whether you are prompted to create a new folder. The
   default qualifier is /CONFIRM.

     This example shows how to use the MOVE command to move a
     message to a new folder named WINNERS.

     First, you enter the MOVE command to transfer the current
     message to a new folder. Then, specify a name for the new
     folder and press the Return key to retain the default file.
     Then enter the SELECT command, followed by the name of the new
     folder (WINNERS) to move to the new folder. Finally, enter the
     DIRECTORY command to see the transferred message in the newly
     created folder (WINNERS).
