You can remove that bit from the patch, it is implemented now :-)

notmuchsync --move "querystring" "targetfolder"
(use with --dry-run and -d to preview changes)

once folder: search is implemented you can e.g. simply do:

notmuchsync --move "not tag:inbox and folder:inbox"
/home/spaetz/mail/archive/cur

and make your IMAP web clients (or iphones) happy.

This works right now already:

notmuchsync --move "not tag:inbox" /home/spaetz/mail/archive/cur

but is of course slower (still ok)  as it has to traverse through most
of your mails.
