I configured offlineimap so that the mail server only has emails for the current year. Previous emails are stored locally on my computer and backed up with the other files of the disk. The 2 scripts I use to do that are attached to this email. The directory layout looks like this: /home/cassou/Mail ├── archives │ ├── 2016 │ │ ├── Server1 (with its own Folder1) │ │ └── Server2 (with its own Folder1) │ └── 2017 │ ├── Server1 (with its own Folder1) │ └── Server2 (with its own Folder1) ├── Server1 │ └── Folder1 │ ├── cur │ ├── new │ └── tmp └── Server2 └── Folder1 ├── cur ├── new └── tmp Best, -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm." --Winston Churchill
