Hi there Client: SuSE 8.2 + Mutt Server: SuSE 8.2 + Postfix/Procmail/SA/Cyrus Basically the questions are; What does one use to manipulate files in a maildir? How does Cyrus react if I start moving files around below /var/spool/imap/user/jon/ ? The motivation is that, since I generally keep all mail generated on this list, I end up having to manually move a large number of mails from the INBOX.SLE folder to an INBOX.SLE.mm-yy folder once a month. So now I'd like to automate that. But then it occurred to me that it would be even nicer, if this can be done sort of 'on-the-fly'. Because; Mutt doesn't cache the headers (or so I think) which means that, late in the month, it has to get a couple of thousand headers which takes a rather long time, before the folder opens. What I'd like is something that works something like this; INBOX.SLE is the destination for incoming mail. When new mail arrives, a similar number of 'oldest' mails get 'rotated' out of that folder into an INBOX.SLE.mm-yy folder. Basically a 'fifo' situation. One complication to this scheme, is that I much prefer to keep threading intact. Which of course means that some decision-making is neccessary when a thread spans across 'months'. O.K. Enough. Thoughts? Ideas? Pointers? Can I get Cyrus to do something like what I'm after? Procmail? Formail? *? TIA Jon Clausen -- If we can't be free, at least we can be cheap!
