I've also written a tool that might help: it moves messages in mbox, MH or
Maildir-format mailboxes that are older than the specified number of days
to gzipped mbox-format mailboxes.
It uses about 5 different methods to guess the delivery date of mail, which
helps if you have mangled or non-existent Delivery-Date/Date headers. It
also has a '--delete' option if you prefer to delete old mail rather than
archive it. It uses lockfiles and flock() calls to play nicely with
procmail and mail clients.
It is designed to be run from your crontab and requires python version 2.0
or later.
