mbox mail archiving utilities

am 11.04.2006 03:08:49 von Troy Piggins

I've turned up 3 mail archive utilities:

archivemail, archmbox, and chewmail

Any good/bad/otherwise experiences with any or all of them?
Any other utilities that are better? What do you recommend?

Thanks.

Well I've only used archivemail in the past, but found it to do
everything I needed. It supports IMAP, Maildir and MH mailboxes, as
well as standard MBOX. I'd recommend it.

We didn't pay the Internet bill and it's been cut off.

Thanks for the recommendation. It was probably the first one I would
try.
