CLOSE
Usage: CLOSE
The close command is the opposite of the SELECT command. It will close your currently active memo folder. Use select to open a new memo folder.

Example:
/msg memoserv close

If you close the active memo folder and then do a memoserv list, you can see how many memos you have in each of your folders.

CREATE
Usage: CREATE
This command will allow you to create new memo folders. There are 3 folders already created for you. INBOX, SYSTEM, RECYCLER.

Example:
/msg memoserv create myfolder For my stuff

If you get and keep a lot of memos from a particular room or about a particular matter then you may find it easier to file them all into one file apart from your other memos.

Related Command: /msg memoserv help stat

DEL
Usage: DEL [|*|ALL]
This command will delete specified memos. DEL ALL or DEL * deletes all of your memos within the active folder, so use it with care. DEL ALL is deprecated, but still works. Use DEL * to delete all memos in a folder. When deleting specific memos, the argument passed can be an individual memo number, a comma separated list of memo numbers or a memo range. A memo range, denoted by the syntax : specifies that you wish to delete all memos, whose id is greater than or equal to \'lo\' and less than or equal to \'hi\'. This command will also delete a memo folder. However you cannot delete the INBOX, SYSTEM, or RECYCLER memo folders. You can only delete folders you created.

Examples:
/msg memoserv del 1
/msg memoserv del 12:15
/msg memoserv del 2,3,6
/msg memoserv del *
/msg memoserv del all

Make sure that you have the correct folder active when you are deleting. Deleted memos will go into the RECYCLER folder, so you can move them back into your other folders if you made a mistake. Use the expunge command to make the memos in your RECYCLER folder vanish.

EXPUNGE
Usage: EXPUNGE
The EXPUNGE command will permanently delete all memos in the \"RECYCLER\" folder. Once your memos have been EXPUNGED from the folder they cannot be retrieved.
Example:
/msg memoserv expunge
Expunging your recycler is much like purging emails in some programs or emptying your trash can or recycle bin. It is the final step that makes memos irretrievable.

FORWARD
This command has been removed, use the nickserv set mforward command to forward memos from one nick to another.
/msg nickserv set mforward

IGNORE
Usage: IGNORE [ADD|DEL|LIST] []
You have the ability to manage a permanent MemoServ ignore list with this command. All nicknames added to your ignore list must be registered. If a nickname on your ignore list tries to send you a memo, the ignored person will be notified that they are on your ignore list and you do not wish to receive any memos from them.
Examples:
/msg memoserv ignore add benny
/msg memoserv ignore del Dainera
/msg memoserv ignore list
This is a good way to avoid memos from people who spam you. They can get around an ignore by registering a different nickname, but if people do so just to continue spamming, you can report them to whomever is running the chat network. MemoServ abuse is uncommon since it requires that the person register a nick to do it, and thus leaves a record of who was causing problems.

KEEP
Usage: KEEP
The KEEP command will MARK a memo as being kept. Then the memo will not expire unless deleted. Deleting it either by number or in a del * command will remove the memo.
Example:
/msg memoserv keep 3
Memos that are read but not marked with keep will expire whether you delete them or not. You should still delete and expunge your excess memos to keep your memobox easier to go through and to reduce using up service\'s space needlessly. If you have any important memos you will want to be able to reference later, mark them with keep. If you find yourself doing this often, you should probably make a folder for such memos, so that you do not accidentally

LIST
Usage: LIST
Displays a list of memos sent to you, in your active memo folder. You cannot see memos that you have sent. If no memo folder is selected it will show you how many memos you have in each of your folders.
Example:
/msg memoserv list
This will show you the memo numbers so that you can easily choose which to read or delete. You can see how many memos you have in each folder, so you can decide if you should select one to read through its contents.
delete an important memo with a del *.

MOVE
Usage: MOVE
This command will allow you to move a memo from a memo folder to another memo folder. For example, you would like to keep a memo you received from a friend, however you\'d like it in your FRIEND folder rather than your INBOX folder. You could use the MOVE command to move the selected memo there. If you didn\'t yet have a FRIEND folder, you could create one with the create command. You can move more than 1 memo at a time. e.g.: /MS MOVE 2-4 Jenn will move 2,3 and 4 to \'Jenn\' a folder called Jenn. You cannot move folders into the RECYCLER, use the del command instead.
Examples:
/msg memoserv move 1 SYSTEM
/msg memoserv move 1-4 FRIEND
/msg memoserv move 1,3 SYSTEM
Use this command to organize your memos. Ideally you should keep unread memos in your INBOX folder, then the ones you want to keep, either permanently with the keep command or temporarily, you should move to a personal folder you create. This way you can read through new memos easily, while still being able to hold and quickly find memos you want to reference.

READ
Usage: READ
This command can be used to read memos in the currently selected folder. The argument passed can be an individual memo number, a comma separated list of memo numbers or a memo range. A memo range, denoted by the syntax : specifies that you wish to read all memos, whose id is greater than or equal to \'lo\' and less than or equal to \'hi\'.
Examples:
/msg memoserv read 1
/msg memoserv read 12:15
/msg memoserv read 2,3,6

This is a fairly simple command. You will probably want to list all of the memos you wish to read in one command just for convenience, so long as the scroll isn\'t a problem. You can always reread a memo if it scrolls off and you can\'t scroll back to see it.

SELECT
Usage: SELECT
The select command, will allow you to chose which memo folder will be your active memo box. The CLOSE command would close a selected memo folder. You have 3 default memo folders, INBOX, SYSTEM and RECYCLER You can create additional folders, see create.
Example:
/msg memoserv select SYSTEM
You need to select a folder before you can list or read the memos in it. You can select a new folder without closing the old one; it will close for you when a different folder becomes active.

SEND
Usage: SEND [MTOPIC MBODY]
This command allows you to send a memo to a registered nickname or room. If you wish you can attach a topic to a memo by using MTOPIC and specifying the topic followed by MBODY and the body of the message. You cannot send a memo from the nick you are using to itself.
MTOPIC Usage: SEND [MTOPIC MBODY]
MTOPIC allows you to set a topic for your memo.
MBODY Usage: SEND [MTOPIC MBODY]
You must use the MBODY command to specify the end of the topic and the start of the memo.
Examples:
/msg memoserv send #webchat Hello guys
/msg memoserv send JoelKatz How was your vacation?
/msg memoserv send #webchat MTOPIC meeting MBODY the meeting has been changed to 2:00 instead of 1:30.
Topics are useful for memos that you expect the recipient to keep and refer back to, because they make the memo easier to identify in a list. Topics are also good for test memos, so the recipient does not bother to read the memo.

SENDTO
Usage: SENDTO [MTOPIC MBODY]
This command allows you to send a memo to registered nicknames in a specified room list. You can attach a topic to the memo by using MTOPIC and specifying the topic, followed by MBODY and the body of the message.
MTOPIC Usage: SENDTO [MTOPIC MBODY]
MTOPIC allows you to set a topic for your memo.
MBODY Usage: SENDTO [MTOPIC MBODY]
You must use the MBODY command to specify the end of the topic and the start of the memo.
Examples:
/msg memoserv sendto #webchat vop Hello guys
/msg memoserv sendto #webchat aop,vop Hello guys
/msg memoserv sendto #webchat sop
/msg memoserv sendto #webchat sop MTOPIC meeting MBODY The meeting was moved to 2:00 instead of 1:30.

STAT
Usage: STAT
This command will show you the list of all your MemoServ folders. You will also be able to view how many memos are in each folders, how many are read and unread. All registered Nicknames automatically get 3 default folders, these folders cannot be deleted. They are INBOX, SYSTEM, and RECYCLER.
Example:
/msg memoserv stat
This gives you the same information you get from LIST when all your folders are closed. But you can get the stat information without closing your current folder. So if you have a folder open, but want to see if you have unread memos in another folder, you can use stat to find out with a single command.

UNDEL
Usage: UNDEL []
This command will allow you to undelete a memo that is currently in your RECYCLER memo box. You will need to change your active folder to the RECYCLER folder and then LIST so you will be able to obtain the memo number. The undeleted memo will be automatically moved back to the INBOX memo folder unless you specify a folder.
Examples:
/msg memoserv undel 1 SYSTEM /msg memoserv undel 2
If you accidentally delete a memo but have not yet expunged your RECYCLER, you can get the memo back. This is most useful if you accidentally sent the delete command. But you should try not to count on undeleting memos to get them back.
