Hi
I am getting my gmail - offlineimap - gnus up and running and I am quite
happy with it. I just would like to move some email from my "[gmail]/All
Mail" into an Archive group to move some message from gmail to make
offlineimap faster.
So I would like to move all mails before 2011 into groups Archive.YEAR,
where YEAR is the year of the email.
I thought this is a case for splitting, but I didn't find anything to
split according to date. Furthermore, as this sorting would be done
once, spliting might not be the best approach.
Any suggestions how I could achieve this Archiving?
Thanks,
Rainer

Maybe you can use the limiting functions to get to this?
,----
| / t runs the command gnus-summary-limit-to-age, which is an
| interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-sum.el'.
|
| It is bound to / t, <menu-bar> <Gnus> <Limit to> <Age...>.
|
| (gnus-summary-limit-to-age AGE &optional YOUNGER-P)
|
| Limit the summary buffer to articles that are older than (or equal) AGE days.
| If YOUNGER-P (the prefix) is non-nil, limit the summary buffer to
| articles that are younger than AGE days.
`----
I would have thought that something something like / x Date 2011 RET
would be possible, but it doesn't seem to work for me (even though I
have Date in gnus-extra-headers); I don't know why.
If this is a one-off thing, of course.
Best regards,
Adam

Thanks.
Sounds interesting - I'll look at it. As a once of definitely an option.

On the one hand, yes - but I was also thinking of splitting
1) all emais in the "All Mail" folder older then e.g. 2 years and
2) sort these into folders corresponding to the year (i.e. Archive.2010,
Archive.2011, ...)
This would be continuous, as always the emails older then 2 years should
be sorted.
Cheers,
Rainer

Would this work:
1. In your mailbox: `/ o'
(gnus-summary-insert-old-articles &optional ALL)
2. `/ h'
(gnus-summary-limit-to-headers MATCH &optional REVERSE)
3. For e.g. 2009, use "date:.*2009"
4. `M P b' (gnus-uu-mark-buffer)
5. `B m'
(gnus-summary-move-article &optional N TO-NEWSGROUP SELECT-METHOD
ACTION)
?

BTW, if you want to set on this method from now on, I found this while
browsing the manual:
,----[ (info "(gnus)Expiring Mail") ]
| (setq nnmail-expiry-target 'nnmail-fancy-expiry-target
| nnmail-fancy-expiry-targets
| '((to-from "boss" "nnfolder:Work")
| ("subject" "IMPORTANT" "nnfolder:IMPORTANT.%Y.%b")
| ("from" ".*" "nnfolder:Archive-%Y")))
|
| With this setup, any mail that has `IMPORTANT' in its Subject header
| and was sent in the year `YYYY' and month `MMM', will get expired to
| the group `nnfolder:IMPORTANT.YYYY.MMM'. If its From or To header
| contains the string `boss', it will get expired to `nnfolder:Work'.
`----
I never tried it, but fancy expiring may be worth investigating...

Absolutely - and this looks exactly like what I would need. I would then
have to change my habit of Expiring=deleting (moving to [Gmail]\Bin
folder) to Expiring=Archiving - which makes much more sense anyway as E
is pressed easily. Deleting I could then with B m
Thanks a lot - I will investigate,

Just realized the one problem: in gmail, to delete an email from the
account, I have to move it into the Bin directory - so I would have to
do two things:
1) expire it with the fancy target, which works nicely by the way, and
2) copy it into the bin folder
Other option: I think that when I move it out of the All Mail folder, it
will be removed. So I would have to set expiry targets depending on
the folder from which I want to expire it. Is it from the group
[Gmail]\All Mail I want to expire it to the archive folder
nnimap+Maildir:Archives.%Y but from any other group, I want to expire it
to the [Gmail]\All Mail group. Is this possible? I don't see any
indication in the manual on how I can use nnmail-fancy-expiry-targets
based on groups?
Thanks,
Rainer
