Package: archivemail
Version: 0.9.0-1
Severity: wishlist

A nice feature would be to delete mailboxes from which you are archiving if,
after archiving, there's no mail left in the source mailbox.

I had a browse around the archivemail source and I guess the nicest way to
achieve this would be if the 'mailbox' python library had support for this,
say a method 'remove()' for a mailbox object.

I tried a preliminary monkey-patch that added such methods to the Maildir and
mbox sub-classes, but I haven't done all the other myriad esoteric mailbox
types, and if there's any hope of the python standard library accepting such a
patch it would have to be for the whole lot.  (as an aside, the semantics of
deleting Maildir mailboxes are pretty bad too. However they've already crossed
that bridge since mailbox.Maildir has remove_folder for sub-Maildirs)
