How to move multiple messages in mutt

Before all of my messages were in one maildir. Now I want move all arch-general mail to another one.

From here, I see:

"move" as we know it from other places is "save" in mutt.  "save" as we know it from other places is "copy" in mutt.  ~e EXPR         message which contains EXPR in the ``Sender'' field 

so I use pattern in index

'T'  and  '~e arch-general' then  's' 

but just one message moved.

How can I move all pattterned messages to another dir?

How do you search on mutt?

Hit l , and enter a search query. By default, Mutt will only search through the subject lines, but this behaviour can be changed by prefixing the command with a special identifier. For instance, searching for ~b oranges will limit the view to all the messages which mention “oranges” in the message body.
