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.

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:
- doesn't manage base64 encoded subject properly
- doesn't work with python 3.x (that is able to manage base64 encoded subject properly
Any idea ?
