Description

archivemail is a tool written in python(1) for archiving and compressing old email in mailboxes. By default it will read the mailbox MAILBOX, moving messages that are older that the specified number of days (180 by default) to a mbox-format mailbox in the same directory that is compressed with gzip(1). archivemail supports reading IMAP, Maildir, MH and mbox-format mailboxes, but it will always write archive files to mbox-format mailboxes that are compressed with gzip(1)
