mutt has no trouble reading gzipped mboxes. :-) # Use folders which match on \\.gz$ or \\.bz2$ as [gb]zipped folders: open-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -cd %f > %t" close-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -c %t > %f" append-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -c %t >> %f" Those are all default supplied mutt options. I've a cron job that regularly appends mbox contents to existing gzipped archives.
