Same effect here with TERM=

I was a bit incorrect in this paragraph, I want to move all old messages
from one _mbox_ to another (compressed) one. Threads are not
neccesary, because it's third level storage (I'm not going to look
there often).

Do you know any tools working on mboxes directly? Locking would be no
problem, because there is no delivery to this folders, and I won't try
to read these mails during the moving.

Thanks
