I just want to archive certain sent mail into an archive folder. Are
there email indexes and locks, etc that I need to worry about when
moving emails in MAILDIR? Or can I just scan (via awk or thee like) /new
and /cur for files matching a pattern and move them to a different
directory? 

Thanks,

Ben
