Initial Comment:
I was experimenting to see if I could get archivemail 0.7.2 working on windows.  I installed the standard windows pythin 2.6 and did the archivemail install.  When I tried to run archivemail, it said

ImportError: no module named fcntl

I'm really not too surprised.  When I saw in the documentation that it usses flock(), that might not work on windows.  But, the documentation said to report ImportError's, so I am.  Guess I'll see if I can get it working under cygwin.

Thanks!

Message:
archivemail runs on POSIX platforms only. OK, I have to admit that the
official documentation is quiet about portability, so one could expect it
to work on your OS. :-) I guess I should add a note about that.
