Hi
This is slightly offtopic, but I would like to move all emails in a Maildir folder into an Archive
folder. What is the easiest way of doing this? I assume I ave to do this outside notmuch, but is
there an easy way? I have 250 000 emails on my gmail account, and this is slowing many things down.
Any suggestions?
Rainer

I found
notmuch search --output=files $(date +%s -d 2010-01-01)..$(date +%s -d 2010-12-31)
and how I can create a maildir (http://plasmasturm.org/log/81/)
So now I have to pipe the result from the notmuch command above to mv and move it to
$MAILDIR/ARCHIVE.2010/cur
Is this correct? How can I do this?
Thanks
Rainer

Above you wrote "all emails in a Maildir", which is why I suggested
'mv'. For a more complex operation I would use my usual mail client
(mutt in my case).
Kind regards,
Andrei

Sorry - I have forgotten the part "from one year". But I found a solution:
notmuch search [...] | xargs -0 -I {} mv {} ~/rkrug/Maildir/Archive/2009/cur
$ notmuch search --output=files $(date +%s -d 2009-01-01)..$(date +%s -d 2009-31-12) | xargs -0 -I
{} mv {} ~/rkrug/Maildir/Archive/2009/cur
to move all emails from 2009 into the maildir Maildir/Archive/2009
I though about using mutt or , but I am using usually thunderbird and notmuch for searching and
occasionally answering emails and archiving. So mutt is not that straight forward to me.
Thanks,
Rainer

You may also try archivemail[1]. Unfortunately its the only output
format is mbox, so you cannot keep your archive indexed.
However I like your approach better. Thanks for the hint.
