In the pipe folder, messages are automatically transferred from the source folder to destination folder.
Format:
`|' source-folder `|' destination-folder
When you access the pipe folder, messages are automatically transferred from source-folder to destination-folder. It is convenient if you want to download messages to local disk via POP. For example, if you specify following
|&username@popserver|+inbox
and access it, messages are downloaded automatically from `&username@popserver' to `+inbox'.
On the other hand, if you put `|:' instead of second `|', then messages are copied to the destination folder (not deleted from source-folder). At the next time you access that folder, only new messages will be copied.
`|' source-folder `|:' destination-folder
If you want to copy messages from POP server and view them, specify the folder as follows:
|&username@popserver|:+inbox
where messages will be kept on the server.
Example:
|%inbox|%myinbox -> Download %inbox to %myinbox.
|*&user@popserver1,&user@popserver2|+inbox
-> Download from &user@popserver1 and &user@popserver2 to +inbox.
|-gnu.emacs.sources|:+sources
-> Copy messages from -gnu.emacs.sources to +sources.
After messages are moved, a hook elmo-pipe-drained-hook is called.
