Re: Archiving and Expiring Mail

Jay, 

Have any idea how to do this if you want to keep anything that's been
read but not anything that hasn't been read?  (i.e. you have saved some
messages older than 30 days...)

Interesting trick using "push" like that.  I like it.

I think that procmail can do that job. Here's an example:

## debian user (digest)
:0
* X-Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
{
:0 c
|formail +1 -ds cat >>Archives/deb-user

:0
|formail +1 -ds cat >>spool/deb-user.spool
}

(So the messages are stored in two files: deb-user and
deb-user.spool.)

Ps: have you noticed the crippled X-Loop header line? :-(

I just got done looking up this one myself, as I did not want to keep any 
debian-user mail older than 30 days old.  Add this to your .muttrc

folder-hook debian-user "push 'D~d >30d\n'"

where "debian-user" is the name of the mail file where your mail is stored.

I will not take credit for this, I found it on a deja post:

Hi. I use Procmail and Mutt for processing +200 mail messages every day
(large share from this list ;-))
I would like to have a tool which is able to archive and/or expire mail
messages on a per mailbox bases.
Did not find anything matching in the Mail-packages list on
www.debian.org.
Any suggestions?
