Re: save-hook does not save in the right location?

So there's no way to do it (without a external mail filter) when mails

From /usr/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt.gz:

12. Using Multiple spool mailboxes

  Usage: mbox-hook [!]pattern mailbox

  This command is used to move read messages from a specified mailbox to a
  different mailbox automatically when you quit or change folders. pattern
  is a regular expression specifying the mailbox to treat as a ``spool''
  mailbox and mailbox specifies where mail should be saved when read.

"Pattern" in the usage-line is misleading, because it's a regex for the foldername and not a message pattern (like ~l). Furthermore, mbox-hook doesn't apply if all your mail is one folder.
