I have made something for archiving that you can supply with an array of

mail folders and it wil move messages of a specific year to a folder

ARCHIVE/YEAR. If you only have 180GB I would not make subdivision in

months. Just put everything in a year folder sent and and received

combined.

Also use doveadm in your script, that wil work on any type of storage

and you do not want to risk loosing email, because someone is not

'coding' properly.

Subject: Archive maildir

Hi to all

We have a maildir with about 180GB of emails.

We have to archive them to a structure like: .Archive.YYY./MM.folder

Are you aware of a script doing this ? I've found a perl script that

doesn't spit in year and month and a very, very, very, very, very old

python script that:

1) doesn't manage base64 encoded subject properly

2) doesn't work with python 3.x (that is able to manage base64 encoded

subject properly

Any idea ?
