[imapfilter-devel] Messages sometimes saved to listname-%Y-%m

[Greg Gilbert]

I have imapfilter set up to filter mailing list mail over  30 days
old into an archives folder. In many cases, instead of being tagged
with the date of the messages, the folder name will end in %Y-%m.


The server is running uw-imapd and I'm using imapfilter 0.9.5.

I'm using the following imapfilterrc:

logfile = /home/ggilbert/.imapfilter.log
set timeout = 120
expunge = no
subscribe = yes
namespace = yes

account treke ggilbert:PASSWORD_REMOVED at localhost:143
  folder lists lists/foo

filter archive-recent
older 30
action move archive/$_/$_- at Y-@m

job archive-recent lists


I ran imapfilter with debug support enabled and got the following
log:
