Since I use maildir its fairly easy to perform mass operations on
email.
I have a shell script which nightly moved messages that are over two
weeks old and aren't "flagged" to an archive folder, which keeps my
normal mailbox access quick. Typically less than 300 messages in any
incoming folder, and archives grow forever.
Incoming folder: ~/Mail/.Domain.com/Inbox/{cur,tmp,new}
Archive folder: ~/Mail/.Archive.Domain.com/Inbox/{cur,tmp,new}
# Any directory with an Archive subdir will be autoarchived.
# /home/rladams/Maildir/.Adamsinfoserv_com.Inbox is archived to
# /home/rladams/Maildir/.Archive.Adamsinfoserv_com.Inbox
echo "********** $0 running at `date`"
find /home/rladams/Maildir -type d -name .Archive.\* | \
while read MyArchive
do
SRC=`echo $MyArchive | sed 's/\.Archive//g'`
# If file is older than 14 days, and isn't flagged, move it.
[ -d ${SRC}/cur ] && {
echo "********** Archiving $SRC to $MyArchive."
find ${SRC}/cur -type f -mtime +14 ! -name '*,*F*' | \
grep '^/home/rladams/Maildir' | \
while read X
do
echo mv $X ${MyArchive}/cur
mv $X ${MyArchive}/cur
done
}
done
