[imapfilter-devel] filters for archiving mail

[Philippe LeCavalier]

This may seem ridiculously easy once I have the answer but ever since I
stumbled upon this project over a month ago I've been trying to create a
simple rule to archive my mail. Here's what I've come up with -which
doesn't work- Ideally, I'd like to build upon that so I don't have to
revist it ie have a function that substracts 1 from the current year and
performs the archive. Even better would be to create the folders in the
archive to replicate the tree :-) Anyway.

 55 --ARCHIVING
 56 --Pre-2009
 57 --[[
 58 results = account1.INBOX:arrived_before('01-Jan-2009') -
 59         (account1['rec'] +
 60         account1['archives'])
 61     results:move_messages(account2['archives/pre_2009'])
 62 
 63 --2009
 64 results = account1.INBOX:arrived_since('01-Jan-2009') *
 65         account1.INBOX:arrived_before('01-Jan-2010') -
 66         (account1['rec'] +
 67         account1['archives'])
 68 results:move_messages(account2['archives/2009'])
 69 --]]
 
i) rather than specify each mailbox and subfolder thereof, how can I
have it look through all mailboxes under INBOX recursively. 'INBOX.*'
kind of thing?

ii) if i) then how can I exclude the 'rec' and 'archive' folders?

Thanks for any advice.
