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
