mh-e: Leaving MH-E

 
 3.4 Leaving MH-E
 ================
 
 You may now wish to exit ‘emacs’ entirely.  Use ‘C-x C-c’ to exit
 ‘emacs’.  If you exited without running ‘x’ in the ‘+inbox’ buffer,
 Emacs will offer to save it for you.  Type ‘y’ or <SPC> to save ‘+inbox’
 changes, which means to perform any refiles and deletes that you did
 there.
 
    If you don’t want to leave Emacs, you can type ‘q’ to bury (hide) the
 MH-E folder or delete it entirely with ‘C-x k’.  You can then later
 recall it with ‘C-x b’ or ‘M-x mh-rmail’.
 
    On the other hand, if you no longer want to use MH and MH-E, you can
 take your mail with you.  You can copy all of your mail into a single
 file, mbox-style, by using the MH command ‘packf’.  For example, to
 create a file called ‘msgbox’ with the messages in your ‘+inbox’ folder,
 use ‘packf +inbox’.  The ‘packf’ command will append the messages to the
 file if it already exists, so you can use ‘folders -recurse -fast’ in a
 script to copy all of your messages into a single file, or using the
 ‘-file’ argument, a file for each folder.
