I use mbox format (faster than Maildir) mailboxes, and a combination of scoring and copying to archive what I consider to be important. Essentially, the scoring: set index_format="%4C %2M%Z (%2N) %[%y%m%d] %-17.17F (%3l) %s" set score_threshold_delete=0 set score_threshold_flag=30 set score_threshold_read=15 unscore * score '~A' 20 score '~=' -9999 score '~P|~p|~Q' 20 folder-hook . 'score "~=|(!(~p|~P|~Q|~F)~d>14d)" -9999' # Flagged as ! is colored cyan color index cyan default '~F' This deletes all messages that are either duplicate or not related to me or not flagged as important, if they are older than two weeks. folder-hook . 'save-hook . =save.%B' This saves messages to a folder with the same name as the current folder but preceded by "save." when you hit "s" macro index \eS "1\n\eV^T~A\nT(~P|~p|~Q|~F)~r>3w\n;s\n" "Delete old; archive" macro pager \eS "q1\n\eV^T~A\nT(~P|~p|~Q|~F)~r>3w\n;s\n" "Delete old; archive" When you hit <Esc S>, your surviving messages older than three weeks are moved to the respective folder preceeded by "save." as set above. The only problem is if there are no messages. In this case mutt wants to copy the first message in the folder, and I can't find a way around that. That's why I've set #ask for confirmation on moves folder-hook . 'set move=ask-yes' I hope this helps! -Andre
