| USAGE | |
| cleanup-maildir [OPTION].. COMMAND FOLDERNAME.. | |
| DESCRIPTION | |
| Cleans up old messages in FOLDERNAME; the exact action taken | |
| depends on COMMAND. (See next section.) | |
| Note that FOLDERNAME is a name such as 'Drafts', and the | |
| corresponding maildir path is determined using the values of | |
| maildir-root, folder-prefix, and folder-seperator. | |
| COMMANDS | |
| archive - move old messages to subfolders based on message date | |
| trash - move old message to trash folder | |
| delete - permanently delete old messages | |
| OPTIONS | |
| -h, --help | |
| Show this help. | |
| -q, --quiet | |
| Suppress normal output. | |
| -v, --verbose | |
| Output extra information for testing. | |
| -n, --trial-run | |
| Do not actually touch any files; just say what would be done. | |
| -a, --age=N | |
| Only touch messages older than N days. Default is 14 days. | |
| -k, --keep-flagged-threads | |
| If any messages in a thread are flagged, do not touch them or | |
| any other messages in that thread. | |
| -u, --keep-unread-threads | |
| If any messages in a thread are unread, do not touch them or any | |
| other messages in that thread. | |
| -r, --keep-read | |
| If any messages are flagged as READ, do not touch them. | |
| -t, --trash-folder=F | |
| Use F as trash folder when COMMAND is 'trash'. | |
| Default is 'Trash'. | |
| --archive-folder=F | |
| Use F as the base for constructing archive folders. For example, if F is | |
| 'Archive', messages from 2004 might be put in the folder 'Archive.2004'. | |
| -d, --archive-hierarchy-depth=N | |
| Specify number of subfolders in archive hierarchy; 1 is just | |
| the year, 2 is year/month (default), 3 is year/month/day. | |
| --maildir-root=F | |
| Specifies folder that contains mail folders. | |
| Default is "$HOME/Maildir". | |
| --folder-seperator=str | |
| Folder hierarchy seperator. Default is '.' | |
| --folder-prefix=str | |
| Folder prefix. Default is '.' | |
| NOTES | |
| The following form is accepted for backwards compatibility, but is deprecated: | |
| cleanup-maildir --mode=COMMAND [OPTION].. FOLDERNAME.. | |
| EXAMPLES | |
| # Archive messages in 'Sent Items' folder over 30 days old | |
| cleanup-maildir --age=30 archive 'Sent Items'" | |
| # Delete messages over 2 weeks old in 'Lists/debian-devel' folder, | |
| # except messages that are part of a thread containing a flagged message. | |
| cleanup-maildir --keep-flagged-threads trash 'Lists.debian-devel' | |

I find that script very useful. I've created a FreeBSD port a while ago. If you're the author could you please add it to a repository and state under which license it is published?
Thank you for your script !
Are you sure we should recreate the mtime timestamp if only moving the message from one folder to another subfolder ?
132 dstName = "%d.%d_%d.%s" % (int(time.time()), os.getpid(), self.counter, socket.gethostname())
As per https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir#Usage_of_timestamps and the quoted RFC, we could just os.rename() the message.
I think the source of this script is: http://svn.houseofnate.net/unix-tools/trunk/cleanup-maildir (which now has a copyright/license on it).
Author
And my derived version of the script mostly adds threading support by modelling in-reply-to as a graph.
Hello,
any idea to go through subfolders in Maildir like .Folder1, .Folder2 ... and move them to archive folder keeping same structure Archive.2021.Folder1, Archive.2021.Folder2 and etc ?
