Archiving received mails?

Archiving received mails?

[Jinhyok Heo]

Hi,

I can archive mails I've *sent* using gnus-message-archive-group.

But I also want to archive mails I *received* every month into
different folders. Is there a way?

I use nnml as mail backend.

If you start Gnus once a day, it should be sufficient to recompute the
split methods upon startup.  If you leave Gnus running longer,
midnight.el is your friend to recompute the split methods.

You can either do it like this:

(setq nnmail-crosspost
      nnmail-split-methods `((,(format-time-string "arc.%Y-%m") "")
                             ("foo" "bar")
                             ...))

If a message matches several rules (it always matches the first rule),
then it will put in several folders.

Or with nnmail-split-fancy:

(setq nnmail-split-methods 'nnmail-split-fancy
      nnmail-split-fancy `(& ,(format-time-string "arc.%Y-%m")
                           (| ...other.rules...)))

This way, all messages go in the archive group, but if several of the
`other rules' match, it will only go in one of those.
