aerc doesn't seem to show the accounts in the order requested, so every account seems to be set in a weirdly placed order, instead of the order given when choosing the accounts to open. The suggested solution is to order the accounts in the same order as specified in the -a option.

Correct, when you start typing :mv -a it'll list all accounts, and when you complete one of them or when you write the entire name, it would automatically start completing folder names for that account.

I guess this would be the easiest.

How does the completion work? Is it possible that in the moment -a NAMEOFACCOUNT is added on the command line, aerc would complete from the target account not from the current one?

1. Whole from mv needs to be redefined to include (optionally) the account name. E.g., something like mv #Home/Junk (instead of # use any other character which cannot be legitimately part of the account name). Probably more complicated, but seems like closer to The Right Thing™ to me.

Yeah, this would mean limiting the possible account name characters, which may or may not be a breaking change. But I guess you could escape the characters, but I guess we could see which characters couldn't be legitimely part of the folder name, because of that I think 1 would be simpler.

Ops, it didn't stop quoting the data properly.

A feature which lets users move mail (using :mv: maybe with a parameter) to another Account's folder.

This should be rather easy to implement using code from the feature of mbox imports and exports.

And if also possible be able to configure a specific account for archives.
