I have following macro defined in my muttrc:

macro  index s ":set confirmappend=no delete=yes auto_tag=yes\n\
    <save-message>=archive\n<sync-mailbox>:set delete=ask-yes\n"

When I press s on a message, it will immediately be moved into my archive folder.

I would like to modify my macro, so that I will be asked for confirmation before the message is moved.

But when I change confirmappend=yes:

macro index s ":set confirmappend=yes delete=yes auto_tag=yes\n\
    <save-message>=archive\n<sync-mailbox>:set delete=ask-yes\n"

and when I press s, mutt becomes immediately unresponsive, all keys stop working, I cannot even exit. The cpu runs at 100% and I have to log in from another console to kill mutt.

Can somebody please advise how to correctly modify my macro?

Remove the \n from after the folder name so the command you are looking for is

macro  index s ":set confirmappend=no delete=yes auto_tag=yes\n\
<save-message>=archive<sync-mailbox>:set delete=ask-yes\n"
