An "auto archive" function in Evolution would be great. M$ Outlook provides this feature since many versions.
Meanwhile, I have written a script that will recursively archive old mails and retain your evolution folder structure in archive (unlimited levels of sub-folders under your Inbox are supported). The script depends on the "archivemail" package - so ensure that you have this package installed. By default, it archives all mail older than 365 days into an "archives" sub-folder under the user's home folder (but these can be easily changed if you are familiar with shell scripting) Each time you run the script, it will create a date-wise folder under the archives folder. Your archived evolution structure is kept here. To restore, currently, you will need to manually copy back the archived folders into /home/<user>/.evolution/mail/local If more people find this script useful, I might improve it with the help of zenity or python to make it more user-friendly. ** Attachment added: "arch-recursive.sh" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16516837/arch-recursive.sh -- 2 gb max inbox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197290 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
