'archivemail' can save a lot of disk space and will significantly reduce
|
||||
overhead on your mail reader. The number of days before mail is considered
|
||||
'old' is up to you, but the default is 180 days.

'old' is up to you, but the default is 180 days. To see the options
|
||||
archivemail supports, try running 'archivemail --help'.
|

|

'archivemail' currently works on mbox-format and maildir-format mailboxes,
|
||||
and requires python v2.0 or greater. It also supports deleting old mail
|
||||
instead of archiving it.

instead of archiving it with the '--delete' option.
|

|

The best way to run archivemail is from cron. Giving the '-q' option to
|
||||
archivemail will make it quiet, only printing messages if something went
|
||||
wrong.
|

|
||||
archivemail is not exactly blazingly quick at the moment, but if you run it
|
||||
from cron you won't mind. Archiving from maildir mailboxes instead of 'mbox'
|
||||
is a lot quicker too, since we don't have to do to as much effort to delete
|
||||
mail from the original mailbox.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example script I use for running archivemail from cron:
