By default it will read the mailbox -\fIMAILBOX\fR, moving messages that are older that the specified number of days (180 by default) to a -\fBmbox\fR(5)\-format mailbox in the same directory that is compressed with -\fBgzip\fR(1)\&. It can also just delete old email rather than archive it\&. -.PP -By default, -\fBarchivemail\fR -derives the archive filename from the mailbox name by appending an -_archive -suffix to the mailbox name\&. For example, if you run -\fBarchivemail\fR -on a mailbox called -exsouthrock, the archive will be created with the filename -exsouthrock_archive\&.gz\&. This default behavior can be overridden with command line options, choosing a custom suffix, a prefix, or a completely custom name for the archive\&. -.PP - -\fBarchivemail\fR -supports reading -IMAP, -Maildir, -MH -and -mbox\-format mailboxes, but always writes -mbox\-format archives\&. -.PP -Messages that are flagged important are not archived or deleted unless explicitly requested with the -\fB\-\-include\-flagged\fR -option\&. Also, -\fBarchivemail\fR -can be configured not to archive unread mail, or to only archive messages larger than a specified size\&. -.PP -To archive an -IMAP\-format mailbox, use the format -\fIimap://username:password@server/mailbox \fR -to specify the mailbox\&. -archivemail -will expand wildcards in -IMAP -mailbox names according to -RFC -3501, which says: -\(lq The character "*" is a wildcard, and matches zero or more characters at this position\&. The character "%" is similar to "*", but it does not match a hierarchy delimiter\&.\(rq -You can omit the password from the -URL; use the -\fB\-\-pwfile\fR -option to make -\fBarchivemail\fR -read the password from a file, or alternatively just enter it upon request\&. If the -\fB\-\-pwfile\fR -option is set, -\fBarchivemail\fR -does not look for a password in the -URL, and the colon is not considered a delimiter\&. Substitute \*(Aq\fBimap\fR\*(Aq with \*(Aq\fBimaps\fR\*(Aq, and -\fBarchivemail\fR -will establish a secure -SSL -connection\&.

When reading an -mbox\-format mailbox, -\fBarchivemail\fR -will create a lockfile with the extension -\&.lock -so that procmail will not deliver to the mailbox while it is being processed\&. It will also create an advisory lock on the mailbox using -\fBlockf\fR(2)\&. The archive is locked in the same way when it is updated\&. -\fBarchivemail\fR -will also complain and abort if a 3rd\-party modifies the mailbox while it is being read\&. -.PP - -\fBarchivemail\fR -will always attempt to preserve the last\-access and last\-modify times of the input mailbox\&. Archive mailboxes are always created with a mode of -0600\&. If -\fBarchivemail\fR -finds a pre\-existing archive mailbox it will append rather than overwrite that archive\&. -\fBarchivemail\fR -will refuse to operate on mailboxes that are symbolic links\&. -.PP - -\fBarchivemail\fR -attempts to find the delivery date of a message by looking for valid dates in the following headers, in order of precedence: -Delivery\-date, -Received, -Resent\-Date -and -Date\&. If it cannot find any valid date in these headers, it will use the last\-modified file timestamp on -MH -and -Maildir -format mailboxes, or the date on the -From -line on -mbox\-format mailboxes\&. -.PP -When archiving mailboxes with leading dots in the name, -archivemail -will strip the dots off the archive name, so that the resulting archive file is not hidden\&. This is not done if the -\fB\-\-prefix\fR -or -\fB\-\-archive\-name\fR -option is used\&. Should there really be mailboxes distinguished only by leading dots in the name, they will thus be archived to the same archive file by default\&. -.PP -A conversion from other formats to -\fBmbox\fR(5) -will silently overwrite existing -Status -and -X\-Status -message headers\&. -.SS "IMAP" -.PP -When -\fBarchivemail\fR -processes an -IMAP -folder, all messages in that folder will have their -\eRecent -flag unset, and they will probably not show up as \*(Aqnew\*(Aq in your user agent later on\&. There is no way around this, it\*(Aqs just how -IMAP -works\&. This does not apply, however, if you run -\fBarchivemail\fR -with the options -\fB\-\-dry\-run\fR -or -\fB\-\-copy\fR\&. -.PP - -\fBarchivemail\fR -relies on server\-side searches to determine the messages that should be archived\&. When matching message dates, -IMAP -servers refer to server internal message dates, and these may differ from both delivery time of a message and its -Date -header\&. Also, there exist broken servers which do not implement server side searches\&. -.sp -.it 1 an-trap -.nr an-no-space-flag 1 -.nr an-break-flag 1 -.br -.ps +1 -\fBIMAP URLS\fR -.RS 4 -.PP - -\fBarchivemail\fR\*(Aqs -IMAP -URL -parser was written with the -RFC -2882 (Internet Message Format) rules for the -local\-part -of email addresses in mind\&. So, rather than enforcing an -URL\-style encoding of non\-ascii -and reserved characters, it allows to double\-quote the username and password\&. If your username or password contains the delimiter characters \*(Aq@\*(Aq or \*(Aq:\*(Aq, just quote it like this: -\fIimap://"username@bogus\&.com":"password"@imap\&.bogus\&.com/mailbox \fR\&. You can use a backslash to escape double\-quotes that are part of a quoted username or password\&. Note that quoting only a substring will not work, and be aware that your shell will probably remove unprotected quotes or backslashes\&. -.PP - -\fBarchivemail\fR -tries to be smart when handling mailbox paths\&. In particular, it will automatically add an -IMAP -NAMESPACE -prefix to the mailbox path if necessary; and if you are archiving a subfolder, you can use the slash as a path separator instead of the -IMAP -server\*(Aqs internal representation\&. -.RE -.SH "EXAMPLES" -.PP -To archive all messages in the mailbox -debian\-user -that are older than 180 days to a compressed mailbox called -debian\-user_archive\&.gz -in the current directory: -.sp -.if n \{\ -.RS 4 -.\} -.nf -bash$ \fBarchivemail debian\-user\fR -.fi -.if n \{\ -.RE -.\} -.PP -To archive all messages in the mailbox -debian\-user -that are older than 180 days to a compressed mailbox called -debian\-user_October_2001\&.gz -(where the current month and year is April, 2002) in the current directory: -.sp -.if n \{\ -.RS 4 -.\} -.nf -bash$ \fBarchivemail \-\-suffix \*(Aq_%B_%Y\*(Aq debian\-user\fR -.fi -.if n \{\ -.RE -.\} -.PP -To archive all messages in the mailbox -cm\-melb -that are older than the first of January 2002 to a compressed mailbox called -cm\-melb_archive\&.gz -in the current directory: -.sp -.if n \{\ -.RS 4 -.\} -.nf -bash$ \fBarchivemail \-\-date\*(Aq1 Jan 2002\*(Aq cm\-melb\fR -.fi -.if n \{\ -.RE -.\} -.PP -Exactly the same as the above example, using an ISO date format instead: -.sp -.if n \{\ -.RS 4 -.\} -.nf -bash$ \fBarchivemail \-\-date=2002\-01\-01 cm\-melb\fR -.fi -.if n \{\ -.RE -.\} -.PP -To delete all messages in the mailbox -spam -that are older than 30 days: -.sp -.if n \{\ -.RS 4 -.\} -.nf -bash$ \fBarchivemail \-\-delete \-\-days=30 spam\fR -.fi -.if n \{\ -.RE -.\} -.PP -To archive all read messages in the mailbox -incoming -that are older than 180 days to a compressed mailbox called -incoming_archive\&.gz -in the current directory: -.sp -.if n \{\ -.RS 4 -.\} -.nf -bash$ \fBarchivemail \-\-preserve\-unread incoming\fR -.fi -.if n \{\ -.RE -.\} -.PP -To archive all messages in the mailbox -received -that are older than 180 days to an uncompressed mailbox called -received_archive -in the current directory: -.sp -.if n \{\ -.RS 4 -.\} -.nf -bash$ \fBarchivemail \-\-no\-compress received\fR -.fi -.if n \{\ -.RE -.\} -.PP -To archive all mailboxes in the directory -$HOME/Mail -that are older than 90 days to compressed mailboxes in the -$HOME/Mail/Archive -directory: -.sp -.if n \{\ -.RS 4 -.\} -.nf -bash$ \fBarchivemail \-d90 \-o $HOME/Mail/Archive $HOME/Mail/*\fR -.fi -.if n \{\ -.RE -.\} -.PP -To archive all mails older than 180 days from the given -IMAP -INBOX to a compressed mailbox INBOX_archive\&.gz in the -$HOME/Mail/Archive -directory, quoting the password and reading it from the environment variable -\fBPASSWORD\fR: -.sp -.if n \{\ -.RS 4 -.\} -.nf -bash$ \fBarchivemail \-o $HOME/Mail/Archive imaps://user:\*(Aq"\*(Aq$PASSWORD\*(Aq"\*(Aq@example\&.org/INBOX\fR -.fi -.if n \{\ -.RE -.\} -.PP -Note the protected quotes\&. -.PP -To archive all mails older than 180 days in subfolders of "foo" on the given -IMAP -server to corresponding archives in the current working directory, reading the password from the file -~/imap\-pass\&.txt: -.sp -.if n \{\ -.RS 4 -.\} -.nf -bash$ \fBarchivemail \-\-pwfile=~/imap\-pass\&.txt imaps://user@example\&.org/foo/*\fR -.fi -.if n \{\ -.RE -.\} -.SH "TIPS" -.PP -Probably the best way to run -\fBarchivemail\fR -is from your -\fBcrontab\fR(5) -file, using the -\fB\-\-quiet\fR -option\&.
