Well, I guess it's really two questions. Moving to an explicit account 
requires an `imap:` URL. You can get this by selecting an IMAP mailbox 
and then use ⌘C to put it on the pasteboard. You'll get something 
like:

	imap://username%40example.com@imap.example.com/Archive

The simple answer to the other question is no. The `moveToMailbox:` 
binding takes the argument verbatim. There is no expansion of variables. 
I guess I could introduce something like `moveToMailboxFormat:` for this 
purpose. I'll consider that.

The most flexible solution is to create a bundle command which based on 
the given message returns an action which tells MailMate to move the 
message. This would not be limited to format strings. I could perhaps be 
persuaded to provide an example, but I don't have time right now :-)
