+\r
+That might be interesting solution, maildir per time period. But still\r
+fuse zip caches all the data until unmounted. So even with just reading\r
+it keeps growing (I hope I'm not accusing fuse zip here, but this is my\r
+understanding form the code). This could be simply alleviated by having\r
+it periodically unmounted and mounted again (perhaps from cron).\r

+\r
+Well, if your granularity will be one archive per year of mail, it\r
+should not be that bad ...\r
