Description: archive and compress or delete your old email
Archivemail moves old mail out of a mailbox (in Maildir, MH, or mbox format, or
via IMAP) and archives it in a compressed mbox-format mailbox file. It
is well
suited to be run from cron for automatic archiving of your old mail.
Archivemail can also just delete old mail so it is useful for cleaning up
mailing list or spam mailboxes.
Lifted that from aptitude show archivemail. This is perfect, exactly
what I was after! Thanks Brian!
