Hello Michael,

No, it's not a "stupid" question, it's a bug, this should be clarified
in the documentation and some examples should be added...

You can do it like this:

  account.INBOX:move_messages(account['Lists/imapfilter'], results)

In case you wonder, you do not have to use "INBOX.Lists.imapfilter"
because with the namespace option, the prefix "INBOX." is added
automatically to the subfolder name and the delimiter '/' is changed to
'.' for mail servers that use this.  This is documented in the man
page...

So generally you do:

  myaccount.INBOX:move_messages(myaccount['folder/mailbox'], results)

... and if you want to do it the other way around:

  myaccount['folder/mailbox']:move_messages(myaccount.INBOX, results)

See, you can use characters like the directory delimiter '/' with the
format:

  account['mailbox']

... instead of:

  account.mailbox

Cheers,

Lefteris
