Press 'C' to enter the folder browser, then press TAB to change to
file browsing mode. You'll see the names of the directories you're
interested in as well as the path to your maildir (which is printed
in the lower status bar). Then issue the command.
Alternatively, just open a shell and move the files. You wouldn't
need the '!' and could use the 'ls' command to list your maildirs.
If you run it from the shell, you'll save about 20 seconds (assuming
it would take you 30 minutes to type the entire 105 character string
Charles suggested).
