The only "magic" here is the function safeMove which strips the identifier number and flags from the filename when a file is moved. These identifier numbers are added by mbsync which is the program I use to synchronise my folders with our webmail server, and keeping the numbers when moving the files proved to interfere with its synchronisation logic.
