NAME

       chewmail - mail archiver

SYNOPSIS

       chewmail [OPTIONS] <MAILBOX> ...

DESCRIPTION

       chewmail is a program for archiving mail. It is inspired by the by the Python-based archivemail, but with more useful semantics. All mail
       is archived to the mailbox specified with the --output-box switch, in mbox format. It can read mailboxes in mbox, Maildir and MH formats.

       Internally, chewmail uses Mail::Box, so it support file names and URLs supported by that module.

OPTIONS

       -o mailbox-format, --output-box=mailbox-format
	   The mailbox to archive messages to. The mailbox is run through the Date::Format module, so it supports all it's conversion specifiers.
	   The date and time is relative to the messages timestamp, or the current time if the timestamp is impossible to determine. A sample of
	   the conversion specifiers follows:

	       %%      PERCENT
	       %b      month abbr
	       %B      month
	       %d      numeric day of the month, with leading zeros (eg 01..31)
	       %e      numeric day of the month, without leading zeros (eg 1..31)
	       %D      MM/DD/YY
	       %G      GPS week number (weeks since January 6, 1980)
	       %h      month abbr
	       %H      hour, 24 hour clock, leading 0's)
	       %I      hour, 12 hour clock, leading 0's)
	       %j      day of the year
	       %k      hour
	       %l      hour, 12 hour clock
	       %L      month number, starting with 1
	       %m      month number, starting with 01
	       %n      NEWLINE
	       %o      ornate day of month -- "1st", "2nd", "25th", etc.
	       %t      TAB
	       %U      week number, Sunday as first day of week
	       %w      day of the week, numerically, Sunday == 0
	       %W      week number, Monday as first day of week
	       %x      date format: 11/19/94
	       %y      year (2 digits)
	       %Y      year (4 digits)

       -d days-old, --days=days-old
	   Only archive messages older than than this many days.

       -D date, --date=date
	   Only archive messages old than this date. The date can be any date understood by Perl's Date::Parse module.

       -R, --only-read
	   Only archive messages that are marked seen or read.

       --delete-immediately
	   Synchonize the mailboxes after every message is moved. This will be substantially slower but may provide better recovery for some mail-
	   box formats in the event of a crash.

       --preserve-timestamp
	   Preserve the atime and mtime of the input mailbox. This only affects file-based mailboxes, such as mbox.

       -n, --dry-run
	   Go through all the motions of archiving the mail, but don't actually change any mailboxes.

       -v, --verbose
	   Output more informational messages. Use multiple times for more verbosity.

       -q, --quiet
	   Don't output any messages other than error messages.

       -V, --version
	   Print the version number then exit.

       -h, --help
	   Print usage information then exit.

EXAMPLES

       Archive two day old messages in inbox to inbox-old:

	 chewmail --days 2 -o inbox-old inbox

       Archive read messages to a mailbox named the year-month of the message:

	 chewmail --only-read -o %Y-%m inbox
