<span class="command">archivemail</span> is a tool for archiving and compressing
old email in mailboxes.
It moves messages older than the specified number of
days to a separate <a title="mbox(5) man page"
href="http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/mbox.html">mbox format</a> mailbox that is
compressed with <span class="command">gzip</span>.
It can also just delete old email rather than archive it.

Maybe some of your mailboxes are quite large (eg, over 10,000 messages) and
they are taking a while to load in your mail reader. Perhaps they are taking
up too much space on your disk. Archiving old messages to a separate,
compressed mailbox will mean:
<ol>
<li>Your mail reader will get a huge performance boost loading and reading
your mail.
<li>You will be taking up less disk space, since old mail will be compressed.
(Mail usually compresses quite nicely.)
<li>You won't be confronted with semi-obsolete mail all the time.
</ol>

<li>When archiving IMAP mailboxes, the message selection can be refined by
extending the underlying IMAP <code>SEARCH</code> command with arbitrary
search keys (you will have to cope with the raw IMAP protocol, though).

For what it's worth, I've committed the htdocs state before the release of v0.7.0. The htdocs were not imported in svn, and the latest changes there not committed to cvs. Oh well, for now I'll use the RCS that's there (cvs).
