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