[Solved]mutt delete-pattern with capital D moves email to All Mail

Hello,

I just recently started using mutt and it's amazing!!

Been googling around to solve interesting behaviors and im am stumped about this one...

So i can use the below keycombos to do certain actions, including delete (move to Trash):

bind editor <space> noop # because "All Mail" and "Sent Mail" have a space in them...
# Gmail-style keyboard shortcuts
macro index ga "<change-folder>=[Gmail]/All Mail<enter>" "Go to all mail"
macro index gs "<change-folder>=[Gmail]/Sent Mail<enter>" "Go to sent mail"
macro index gd "<change-folder>=[Gmail]/Drafts<enter>" "Go to drafts"
macro index gi "<change-folder>=INBOX<enter>" "Go to inbox"
macro index gt "<change-folder>=[Gmail]/Trash<enter>" "Go to trash"
macro index,pager d "<save-message>=[Gmail]/Trash<enter><enter>" "Trash"

I am trying to figure out how to use the 'D' delete-pattern option to also move to Trash.

Actual Behavior
delete-pattern 'shift-D' moves all my emails that matched my search to "All Mail" folder
hoped behavior
delete-pattern 'shift-D' moves emails to "Trash" folder

Im assuming it is some form of macro but not really too sure how.

Any input is much appreciated!

Thanks,
Dave

You haven't assigned a macro to D, only to d.

Hi!

Press "?" to get a list of current keybindings and "$" to purge messages that are marked for deletion. Trash management -examples are here: MacroSamples

Figured it out!

So needed to set the 'trash' for my account

set trash = "imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Trash"

Marking solved
