This chapter discusses the things you can do with folders within MH-E. The commands in this chapter are also found in the ‘Folder’ and ‘Message’ menus.
Display cheat sheet for the commands of the current prefix in minibuffer
(mh-prefix-help
).
Display messages in any sequence (mh-index-sequenced-messages
).
Undo all refiles and deletes in the current folder (mh-undo-folder
).
Toggle between MH-Folder and MH-Folder Show modes
(mh-toggle-showing
).
Process outstanding delete and refile requests (mh-execute-commands
).
The ‘mh-folder’ customization group is used to tune these commands.

The hook mh-folder-mode-hook
is called when visiting a new folder in
MH-Folder mode. This could be used to set your own key bindings, for
example:
(defvar my-mh-init-done nil
"Non- |
MH-E has analogies for each of the MH folder
and refile
commands(28). To refile a message in another folder, use the
command o (mh-refile-msg
) (mnemonic: “output”). You are
prompted for the folder name (voir la section Folder Selection). Note that this
command can also be used to create folders. If you specify a folder that
does not exist, you will be prompted to create it. The hook
mh-refile-msg-hook
is called after a message is marked to be refiled.
If you are refiling several messages into the same folder, you can use the
command ! (mh-refile-or-write-again
) to repeat the last refile
or write (for the description of > (mh-write-msg-to-file
),
voir la section Files and Pipes). You can use a range in either case (for example,
C-u o 1 3 5-7 last:5 frombob <RET>, voir la section Ranges).
If you've deleted a message or refiled it, but changed your mind, you can
cancel the action before you've executed it. Use u (mh-undo
) to
undo a refile on or deletion of a single message. You can also undo refiles
and deletes for messages that are found in a given range (voir la section Ranges).
Alternatively, you can use F u (mh-undo-folder
) to undo all
refiles and deletes in the current folder.
If you've marked messages to be deleted or refiled and you want to go ahead
and delete or refile the messages, use x
(mh-execute-commands
). Many MH-E commands that may affect the
numbering of the messages (such as F r or F p) will ask if you
want to process refiles or deletes first and then either run x for you
or undo the pending refiles and deletes.
The command x runs mh-before-commands-processed-hook
before the
commands are processed and mh-after-commands-processed-hook
after the
commands are processed. Variables that are useful with the former hook
include mh-delete-list
and mh-refile-list
which can be used to
see which changes will be made to the current folder,
mh-current-folder
. Variables that are useful with the latter hook
include mh-folders-changed
, which lists which folders were affected
by deletes and refiles. This list will always include the current folder
mh-current-folder
.
If you wish to copy a message to another folder, you can use the command
c (mh-copy-msg
) (see the ‘-link’ argument to
refile
(1)). Like the command o, this command prompts you for
the name of the target folder and you can specify a range
(voir la section Ranges). Note that unlike the command o, the copy takes place
immediately. The original copy remains in the current folder.
The command t (mh-toggle-showing
) switches between MH-Folder
mode and MH-Folder Show mode(29). MH-Folder mode turns off the
associated show buffer so that you can perform operations on the messages
quickly without reading them. This is an excellent way to prune out your
junk mail or to refile a group of messages to another folder for later
examination.
When you use t to toggle from MH-Folder Show mode to MH-Folder mode,
the MH-Show buffer is hidden and the MH-Folder buffer is left alone. Setting
mh-recenter-summary-flag
to a non-nil
value causes the toggle
to display as many scan lines as possible, with the cursor at the
middle. The effect of mh-recenter-summary-flag
is rather useful, but
it can be annoying on a slow network connection.
When you want to read the messages that you have refiled into folders, use
the command F v (mh-visit-folder
) to visit the folder. You are
prompted for the folder name. The folder buffer will show just unseen
messages if there are any; otherwise, it will show all the messages in the
buffer as long there are fewer than mh-large-folder
messages. If
there are more, then you are prompted for a range of messages to scan. You
can provide a prefix argument in order to specify a range of messages to
show when you visit the folder (voir la section Ranges). In this case, regions are
not used to specify the range and mh-large-folder
is ignored. Note
that this command can also be used to create folders. If you specify a
folder that does not exist, you will be prompted to create it.
If you forget where you've refiled your messages, you can find them using
F s (mh-search
). Voir la section Searching Through Messages.
If you use a program such as procmail
to file your incoming mail
automatically, you can display new, unseen, messages using the command
F n (mh-index-new-messages
). All messages in the ‘unseen’
sequence from the folders in mh-new-messages-folders
are
listed. However, this list of folders can be overridden with a prefix
argument: with a prefix argument, enter a space-separated list of folders,
or nothing to search all folders.
If you have ticked messages (voir la section Using Sequences), you can display them using
the command F ' (mh-index-ticked-messages
). All messages in the
‘tick’ sequence from the folders in mh-ticked-messages-folders
are listed. With a prefix argument, enter a space-separated list of folders,
or nothing to search all folders.
You can display messages in any sequence with the command F q
(mh-index-sequenced-messages
). All messages from the folders in
mh-new-messages-folders
in the sequence you provide are listed. With
a prefix argument, enter a space-separated list of folders at the prompt, or
nothing to search all folders.
Set the options mh-new-messages-folders
and
mh-ticked-messages-folders
to ‘Inbox’ to search the
‘+inbox’ folder or ‘All’ to search all of the top level
folders. Otherwise, list the folders that should be searched with the
‘Choose Folders’ menu item. See mh-recursive-folders-flag
.
Other commands you can perform on folders include: F l
(mh-list-folders
), to place a listing of all the folders in your mail
directory in a buffer called ‘*MH-E Folders*’ (voir la section Miscellaneous Commands, Variables, and Buffers);
F k (mh-kill-folder
), to remove a folder; F S
(mh-sort-folder
), to sort the messages by date (see
sortm
(1) to see how to sort by other criteria); F p
(mh-pack-folder
), to pack a folder, removing gaps from the numbering
sequence; and F r (mh-rescan-folder
), to rescan the folder,
which is useful to grab all messages in your ‘+inbox’ after processing
your new mail for the first time. If you don't want to rescan the entire
folder, the commands F r or F p will accept a range
(voir la section Ranges).
By default, operations on folders work only one level at a time. Set
mh-recursive-folders-flag
to non-nil
to operate on all
folders. This mostly means that you'll be able to see all your folders when
you press <TAB> when prompted for a folder name.
The hook mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hooks
is an abnormal hook run
at the beginning of the command k. The hook functions are called with
no arguments and should return a non-nil value to suppress the normal prompt
when you remove a folder. This is useful for folders that are easily
regenerated. The default value of mh-search-p
suppresses the prompt
on folders generated by searching.
NOTE
Use this hook with care. If there is a bug in your hook which returns
t
on ‘+inbox’ and you press k by accident in the+inbox
folder, you will not be happy.
The option mh-sortm-args
holds extra arguments to pass on to the
command sortm
(30) when a prefix argument is used with F S. Normally default
arguments to sortm
are specified in the MH profile. This option
may be used to provide an alternate view. For example, ‘'(\"-nolimit\"
\"-textfield\" \"subject\")’ is a useful setting.
When you want to quit using MH-E and go back to editing, you can use the
q (mh-quit
) command. This buries the buffers of the current
MH-E folder and restores the buffers that were present when you first ran
M-x mh-rmail. It also removes any MH-E working buffers whose name
begins with ‘ *mh-’ or ‘*MH-E ’ (voir la section Miscellaneous Commands, Variables, and Buffers). You can
later restore your MH-E session by selecting the ‘+inbox’ buffer or by
running M-x mh-rmail again.
The two hooks mh-before-quit-hook
and mh-quit-hook
are called
by q. The former one is called before the quit occurs, so you might
use it to perform any MH-E operations; you could perform some query and
abort the quit or call mh-execute-commands
, for example. The latter
is not run in an MH-E context, so you might use it to modify the window
setup. If you find that q buries a lot of buffers that you would
rather remove, you can use both mh-before-quit-hook
and
mh-quit-hook
to accomplish that.
(defvar my-mh-folder-buffer-to-delete nil "Folder buffer that is being quit.") (defun my-mh-before-quit-hook () "Save folder buffer that is to be deleted." (setq my-mh-folder-buffer-to-delete (current-buffer))) (defun my-mh-quit-hook () "Kill folder buffer rather than just bury it." (set-buffer my-mh-folder-buffer-to-delete) (if (get-buffer mh-show-buffer) (kill-buffer mh-show-buffer)) (kill-buffer (current-buffer))) Kill MH-Folder buffer instead of burying it |
You can use dired to manipulate the folders themselves. For example, I
renamed my ‘+out’ folder to the more common ‘+outbox’ by running
dired on my mail directory (M-x dired RET ~/Mail RET), moving my
cursor to ‘out’ and using the command R (dired-do-rename
).
