  -D, --date=DATE       archive messages older than DATE
  -o, --output-dir=DIR  directory to store archives (default: same as original)

  -F, --filter-append=STRING  append arbitrary string to the IMAP filter string
  -s, --suffix=NAME     suffix for archive filename (default: '%s')
  -S, --size=NUM        only archive messages NUM bytes or larger
  -n, --dry-run         don't write to anything - just show what would be done
  -u, --preserve-unread never archive unread messages
      --dont-mangle     do not mangle From_ in message bodies
      --delete          delete rather than archive old mail (use with caution!)
      --include-flagged messages flagged important can also be archived
      --no-compress     do not compress archives with gzip
      --warn-duplicate  warn about duplicate Message-IDs in the same mailbox
  -v, --verbose         report lots of extra debugging information
  -q, --quiet           quiet mode - print no statistics (suitable for crontab)

  -h, --help            display this message
