[Evolution] archiving old mail?
I'd like to archive old mail, automatically. When I used MH, it was simple enough to write a script to use the relevant MH commands to find mail older than a month and move it into an archive subfolder. With Evolution, it ought to be reasonably straightforward, given that the mail is stored in an mbox-style file. My only fear is that if I move mail out of a file (while Evolution is shut down, of course :-)), I'll confuse its indexing mechanism. So, my questions: 1. Anybody done this already and care to share? 2. Need I fear the indexing, or will Evolution notice the difference in the mtimes and reindex on its own? 3. Is there some nifty, hidden API that'll help me do this, so that I don't have to munge the files directly? Thanks!

Re: [Evolution] Feature request: Relocatable links to folders
I second this. =:) I use a local Maildir tree for my mail and have
nothing whatsoever in the Local mail folders. I'd really like to do
away with Local (or have them incorporated into my Maildir tree
somehow). Additionally, my maildir tree looks a little funky, as shown
below
+ home Maildir
+-- .
+-- Folder
+-- AnotherFolder
etc., etc. The thing that's annoying is the . folder. Anyone else
see this or have an answer?

I don't use the Local mail folders at all - all mail is on IMAP
servers. I do use the calendar, contacts, and tasks occasionally,
though. It would be great if I could create a link node in my IMAP
server's tree to the local folders I do use. This way all features I
use can be accessed from my IMAP server's tree.
Before:
+Local Folders
+-- Calendar
+-- Contacts
+-- Tasks
+IMAP server
+-- Drafts
+-- INBOX
+-- Sent
After:
+IMAP server
+-- Drafts
+-- INBOX
+-- Sent
+-- Calendar (link)
+-- Contacts (link)
+-- Tasks (link)
The last three items simply point to the local calendar, tasks, and
contacts folders; they behave like other folders under the IMAP server
tree.

For some reason, evo still won't import it. I'll try experimenting with the ical file and see what's wrong with it. Which Evolution version do you have? I think iCalendar importing was broken in 1.0, and fixed in 1.0.1. Hi Damon, I was using 1.0.1. I just upgraded to 1.0.2, which I noticed was just released, and tried again. No luck. Here's what happens: When loading the .calendar file, and not selecting the file type, it says There is no importer that is able to handle home/.calendar. When loading the .calendar file, and selecting the icalendar format, it says Error loading home/.calendar. In the second case, evolution also gives this error when I start it from a terminal: Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkobject.c: line 1179 (gtk_object_unref): assertion `object-ref_count 0' failed. Is there any way I can help debug this further? This user has been using ical for a long time, so it's likely that there could be an error in his calendar file that ical is able to ignore. His .calendar file is about 150 kb, and from the header in the file it uses Calendar v2.0. Thanks, Scott -- Scott A.
