Hmm, I copied this straight off the sample.config.lua from the rc1
distro. Thanks.

Anyway, a suggestion. Since I have already run 'match' on acc1-inbox and
the list of messages is in 'results', why do I need to specify acc1-inbox
again when running 'move'? I could write a wrapper for myself, but I
guess it is bad semantics.

results = match(acc1, 'INBOX', all)
move(results, acc1, 'all')

would make more sense, I feel.
