Ciao a tutti, I have a little mail server for a few users with dovecot as imap server. To compress the mailboxes of the users I had archivemail. In these days I upgraded the server to bullseye and so I have not yet archivemail: what could I use as subsitute? -- Ciao leandro

Archivemail

Anyone know what happened to archivemail in Debian? packages.debian.org shows it was in Jessie, Stretch and Buster, but it is in neither sid nor Bullseye which presumably means it has been dropped. Anyone know why? bugs.debian.org doesn't show any bugs against it and google is coming up

Hello again A little while back I installed archivemail on Jessie, to delete mail from my local mailbox when it is more than a month old. The command I am running is: archivemail --output-dir=/home/mark/Mail/ -d 31 --delete /var/mail/mark My mailbox is in /var/mail/mark. I didn't choo

Hi Sven, I have been using archivemail since March 2003, always with compression. My configuration generates a new gzipped archive for every month for every IMAP folder. To give you some peace of mind, I just did a simple decompression test of all archives [~5000 right now] (gunzip $file

orage would be a much more severe problem than a buggy archiver. I understand, but since I have more or less 2/3 of the *.gz that are ok, I thought archivemail was the responsible.

I'm looking for opinions to archive old mail, and yet leaving it in a readable way. I have used mhonarc only so far, but it seems to me that there could be a better way, even by just gzipping mbox and creating a script to pipe it thorugh mutt to read it when needed.
