+You could use fdm [1] to store messages into a folder hierarchy based on\r
+the date in the messages. In the past, I used something like that to\r
+periodically move messages in my inbox to sub-folder with the year:\r
+\r
+account "archives" disabled maildirs {\r
+ "${mailpath}INBOX"\r
+}\r
+action "archive" maildir "${mailpath}%[maildir]/%[mail_year]"\r
+match account "archives" {\r
+ match age > 6 months action "archive"\r
+ match all action keep\r
+}\r
+\r
+Nowadays, I use a custom script [2] to mirror some notmuch queries to\r
+maildirs (ran periodically in my crontab), such like:\r
+\r
+notmuch-imap.sh ~/Maildir/ NOT tag:archive AND NOT tag:killed AND NOT tag:spam AND tag:inbox\r
+notmuch-imap.sh ~/Maildir/.todo NOT tag:archive AND NOT tag:killed AND NOT tag:spam AND tag:todo\r
+\r
+Both solutions works server-side, since I control my own mail server but\r
+it may probably used in an offlineimap hook.\r
+\r
+Best,\r
