[imapfilter-devel] Dated archive

[Brendan Hide]

Hi, all

I've been looking for hints or even a guide to dated archiving. As is 
I'm filtering all read and old email into inbox.archive however this 
folder is getting a bit big. I receive hundreds of emails every day, 
many of which are automated mails which I don't normally need to give 
attention to. Imapfilter moves these emails into the archive 
automatically. Many automated emails I'm able to delete after a month or 
so however some I have to keep on hand as reference.

As a result of the massive number of emails, my archive folder is 
getting pretty big (edging on a couple of years of archive now) and it 
actually puts load on the mail server when I open the folder.

If it hasn't already been done then I will do the leg work to make an 
example available. However, I don't want to waste my time if there is a 
really easy way to do this I haven't yet thought of or, of course, if it 
has been done already. Here's an overview of how I'd like to resolve my 
issue:

Emails in Inbox that are read and and/or from automated systems must be 
moved into Inbox\archive (already implemented)
Mails in Inbox\archive\ older than 90 days must be moved into monthly 
dated folders such as Inbox\archive\2010\11\

Thank you very much for your excellent work thus far. Imapfilter has 
already made managing my email less a burden and more a pleasure. :)
