Use Mail's scriptability to archive messages
Authored by: richwiss on Jan 06, '05 01:46:50PM

Another nice thing to do is something I have as a holdover from using pine: save each user's message in a pre-defined folder based on their email address. For example, save messages from your boss to "boss" and maybe save all the mail from any other co-worker to "coworkers". I've got a script I wrote to do that, but it's not really packaged well to upload here. If someone has interest in seeing it, I'll clean it up and submit it as an upcoming hint, or just put up a link to a tar file.

OK, I made it a slight bit cleaner. Please read the instructions at the top of the script before using it as you have to modify the files before they will work for you. It works well for me, and I hope for you too. And if you modify it to make it better, please share with everyone.

You can grab the script here:

Good luck.
