G'day all,
Another odd one here.
I use Thunderbird as my E-mail client. Due to being to subscribed to about 30 Mailing lists I have
quite a few mboxes and am rapidly filling the drive of my poor little laptop.
What I'm after is some shell app/script I can run that will take an mbox as an arg that will copy
out and remove any E-mail older than a specified number of days and tack it on the end of another mbox.
At the moment I have 2 complete dir structures with 30 boxes in each, one that Thunderbird uses
actively and the other I drag-n-drop E-mails into when they start to age a bit. I'd like to be able
to do something like
for i in *.mbox ; do march -age 60 $i ~/marchive/$i ; done
Where march is my wishlist vaporware app, and have it just grab the old messages and move them to
the other mbox.
Anyone seen/done similar?
Regards,
Brad
