archivemail
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. It supports archiving IMAP, mbox, MH, and maildir format mailboxes.

Release Notes: Unsafe creation of temporary files in the test suite was fixed. A dotlocking race condition was fixed. IMAP was broken in version 0.6.2 and is now working again. stats now report the total size of a mailbox and of the archived messages therefrom. archivemail now writes valid mbox(5) archives. archivemail finally converts on-the-wire CRLF to native EOL when saving messages from an IMAP folder. IMAP --delete and IMAP --size, which never worked at all, were fixed. IMAP --dry-run was fixed so that it doesn't download all messages that would be archived.
