<h2>Description</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<strong>archivemail</strong> is a tool written in <a
|
||||
href="http://www.python.org/">Python</a> for archiving and compressing old
|
||||
email in mailboxes. It can move messages older than the specified number of
|
||||
days to a separate <a href="http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/mbox.html">mbox
|
||||
format</a> mailbox that is compressed with <a
|
||||
href="http://www.gzip.org/">gzip</a>, or optionally just delete old email.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Why should I use it?</h2>
|
||||
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>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
If you would prefer to just delete old email rather than archive it,
|
||||
<strong>archivemail</strong> can do that too.

||||

|
||||
<h2>Requirements</h2>
|
||||
<strong>archivemail</strong> requires python version 2.0 or later, with the
|
||||
optional <a href="http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-zlib.html">zlib
|
||||
module</a>, although the zlib module comes with most python installations. If
|
||||
you are compiling your own version of python less than version 2.2, make sure
|
||||
you uncomment the 'zlib' moduile in Modules/Setup in the python source
|
||||
directory.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
You can check to see if your version of python has the 'zlib' module by trying
|
||||
this:
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
flare:~$ python
|
||||
Python 2.1 (#1, Apr 26 2002, 11:22:45)
|
||||
[GCC 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)] on linux2
|
||||
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
|
||||
>>> import zlib
|
||||
>>>
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
If you get an ImportError, then the zlib python module has not been installed.
|
||||
Try upgrading your python distribution.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
Python is available from
|
||||
<a href="http://www.python.org/">http://www.python.org/</a>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to run the bundled test script, you will need python version 2.1
|
||||
or later, because we use the
|
||||
<a href="http://pyunit.sourceforge.net/">PyUnit unittest module</a>. Sorry.
|
||||
