I'm trying something similar to archive my mail

folder-hook =inbox 'push 
"<tag-pattern>~(~r>3m)<enter><tag-prefix-cond><save-message>=archivos/inbox<enter><untag-pattern>~A<enter>"'

however, this doesn't catch all the messages of the threads of the
matched messages (the idea behind the addition of ~() ). I think this is
caused because I also have another folder hook to collapse automatically
all the threads

folder-hook . push "<collapse-all>"

so now I'm working around this with this new version of the hook

folder-hook =inbox 'push 
"<collapse-all><tag-pattern>~(~r>3m)<enter><tag-prefix-cond><save-message>=archivos/inbox<enter><untag-pattern>~A<enter><collapse-all>"'

which uncollapses, archives, and the collapses back the mailbox

This, however, creates another problem: when there is nothing to
archive, the mailbox ends up uncollapsed.

Any ideas on how to solve this?
