archivemail

+ +

Description

+ +archivemail is a tool written in Python for archiving and compressing old +email in mailboxes. It can move messages older than the specified number of +days to a separate mbox +format mailbox that is compressed with gzip, or optionally just delete old email. +

+ +

Why should I use it?

+Maybe some of your mailboxes are quite large (eg, over 10,000 messages) and +they are taking a while to load in your mail reader. Perhaps they are taking +up too much space on your disk. Archiving old messages to a separate, +compressed mailbox will mean: +

Your mail reader will get a huge performance boost loading and reading + your mail. +
You will be taking up less disk space, since old mail will be compressed. + (Mail usually compresses quite nicely.) +
You won't be confronted with semi-obsolete mail all the time. +

+ +If you would prefer to just delete old email rather than archive it, +archivemail can do that too. +

+ + +

Features

+ +

Support for archiving + IMAP, + mbox, + MH and + maildir format + mailboxes. +
You can configure the amount of days before mail is considered old -- + with the default being 180 days. +
Messages that are flagged important are not archived or deleted unless you + specify the --include-flagged option. +
Optionally warn about duplicate Message-IDs in a mailbox. +
You can specify an option so that unread mail is never archived. +
Allows you to store the compressed archive mailboxes in a directory of + your choice, with an extension of your choice. +
Support for deleting old mail rather than archiving it. +
Optional ability to archive messages older than an absolute date with the + --date option. +
Ability to only archive messages over a certain byte size. +

Requirements

+archivemail requires python version 2.0 or later, with the +optional zlib +module, although the zlib module comes with most python installations. If +you are compiling your own version of python less than version 2.2, make sure +you uncomment the 'zlib' moduile in Modules/Setup in the python source +directory. +

+ +You can check to see if your version of python has the 'zlib' module by trying +this: +

+ +

+    flare:~$ python
+    Python 2.1 (#1, Apr 26 2002, 11:22:45)
+    [GCC 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)] on linux2
+    Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
+    >>> import zlib
+    >>>
+

+ +If you get an ImportError, then the zlib python module has not been installed. +Try upgrading your python distribution. +

+ +Python is available from +http://www.python.org/ +

+ +If you want to run the bundled test script, you will need python version 2.1 +or later, because we use the +PyUnit unittest module. Sorry. +

+ +

Download

+archivemail can be downloaded from the +archivemail +download area on Sourceforge or via +CVS. There is also a +debian +package. +
