Before all of my messages were in one maildir. Now I want move all arch-general mail to another one.

From here, I see:

"move" as we know it from other places is "save" in mutt. 
"save" as we know it from other places is "copy" in mutt.

~e EXPR         message which contains EXPR in the ``Sender'' field

so I use pattern in index

'T'  and  '~e arch-general' then  's'

but just one message moved.

How can I move all pattterned messages to another dir?
