1. Why doesn't archivemail support bzip2 compression in addition to gzip? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The bzip2 module in Python 2.x is not fully compatible with the gzip module, and cannot be used with the current implementation of compressed mailbox support in archivemail. See Python feature request #5863 for details. 2. Can you add a switch to archive mailboxes greater than a certain size? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are using mbox format mailboxes instead, use the find(1) command instead, it is more flexible: find $HOME/Mail -type f ! -name '*archive*'
