I'm using mutt to access my Gmail account with a very similar workflow. If I remember correctly the necessary bits are these: set spoolfile=imaps://imap.gmail.com/INBOX set mbox="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/All Mail" set keep_flagged set move=ask-yes With this configuration mutt will ask (and default to "Yes" so I can just press Enter) to move all read e-mail from $spoolfile to the $mbox folder. If I want to keep something around I just flag it (Shift+F by default).
