The *only* little frustration I have with mu4e is when trying to move several threads from my inbox.  I have previously asked the following (below) and I didn't see any response so I'm presuming it's not a problem for others.  If anybody had advice or suggestions it would be welcome.

I generally like to read new email first and later move them to the appropriate folder(s).  Am I correct in thinking that using "Tmo" I can only move one thread at a time?  It seems to me that even if I name destination folders for multiple threads only one thread gets moved when I "x"ecute the move.  Am I doing something wrong?

Many thanks.

The thread functions work on a per-thread basis, but you can select a
region, and apply moves (or refiling) to all message in the region.

(Note, depending on your Maildir-setup, refiling can be superior to move
in that the mu4e can guess the target for you. I rarely need explicit
moving)

Kind regards,
Dirk.
