Strategies for archiving mails

2000-08-20 Thread Kai Weber

Hi,

I am searching for some tips how to archive and collect my mails. I do
not want to delete mails I get. After 3 months using Linux my mailboxes
grow and grow.

How do you sort and archive your mails? I want to collect some possible
solutions for first information and to see what is possible.

If it is a integrated mutt-procmail-solution it would be nice.

Kai.

There has been an interesting thread on this topic starting end of
July. The subject was "automatic mail archiving". David Champion
posted a nice solution to the problem on July 31 (not exactly sure
about that date). It spoils make, procmail, and mutt and a clever use
of symbolic links. I have it running here for about ten mailing lists,
and it works beautifully.
