Element

  N/A

Command-line Option

  `-add` folder1 ...

## Description

The ADD resource instructs MHonArc to add messages to an existing archive. If the archive specified does not exist, MHonArc will automatically create the archive. If input is coming from standard in, then the input is treated as a single message to add to the archive.

When adding, MHonArc will skip any messages that already exists in the archive: allowing MHonArc to rescan a mail folder to add only new messages found.

NOTE: | MHonArc determines duplicate messages by message-ids.

## Default Setting
