That's pretty simple to deal with. Archive old mail, and just keep a year's worth in your mail dir. # Use folders which match on \\.gz$ or \\.bz2$ as [gb]zipped folders: open-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -cd %f > %t" close-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -c %t > %f" append-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -c %t >> %f" open-hook \\.bz2$ "bzip2 -cd %f > %t" close-hook \\.bz2$ "bzip2 -c %t > %f" append-hook \\.bz2$ "bzip2 -c %t >> %f" I have cron jobs that archive certain folders by the week, month, and year. mutt can read the archived stuff even when it's gzipped. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
