I guess I should paste basically what I am now doing with procmail.
## ~/.procmailrc
MAILDIR=/home/seymour/mail
LOGFILE=/home/seymour/logs/procmail
TODAY=`date +%Y-%m`
:0 ic
* ? test ! -d $TODAY
| mkdir -p $TODAY && chmod 0700 $TODAY
# ----- sort high traffic lists into monthly sections -----
:0:
* ^Sender: .*[EMAIL PROTECTED]
$TODAY/mutt-users
:0:
* ^Sender: .*[EMAIL PROTECTED]
$TODAY/linux-kernel
:0:
* ^X-Mailing-List: .*[EMAIL PROTECTED]
$TODAY/debian-user
# ----- end high traffic folder list -----
:0:
*
0inbox
## end of ~/.procmailrc
With this being my folder list for mutt:
## ~/.mutt/folders
# Mail folders
set folder=~/mail
set spoolfile=+0inbox
# Dated mailboxes
mailboxes +1999-08/debian-user
mailboxes +1999-08/linux-kernel
mailboxes +1999-08/mutt-users
Plus all of my other lists and procmail recipes. The only "bad" thing
about this is that I have to manually add some new mailbox entries each
month in my mutt rc file, but I think I can handle that :)
Note that I am using 0inbox as my spoolfile so that it will always be on
top of the mailbox list. After a while, there will be a lot of dated
folders listed, so then I could probably make ~/mail/0oldmail/ and move
old mailboxes in there, with just "mailboxes +0oldmail" in my mutt
settings. This way, my mailboxes won't get too big, nor will my mailbox
list become too cluttered. Thanks again to everyone that helped.
