[archivemail-user] IMAP support

[Scott L. <sl...@sl...>]

Feature request: I'd like to be able to use archivemail with a Cyrus
IMAPd mailserver with lots of mailboxes.  It would be _really_ nice if I
could do something like this:

    Mailbox			Days on server		Archive
    INBOX			60			yes
    INBOX.lists.bugtraq		15			no
    INBOX.lists.*		30			no
    INBOX.spam			5			yes

Archived stuff would be immediately downloaded (backups), but messages
would only be deleted from the server when they're older than the number
of days I've specified, on a per-mailbox basis. (Yes, I keep spam - it's
for statistics and such.)

I'm a Python newbie, but might try this myself. I saw there's an
imaplib, but it looks like it's oriented on the protocol - not
per-mailbox like the classes in archivemail. If someone more experienced
did it, or had tips for me, that'd be great.

Thanks.
