Archival Use of OfflineImap

Hi,

You can of course have a script that moves all your files that are older
than a month in a Maildir folder that's ignored by OfflineImap (see
nametrans documentation on how to filter out a folder).
In that case, you might be interested in the 'syncdate' option from my
'next' branch too if you bootstrap your sync so the file's timestamp will
match the message's Date header. Then moving out the "archived" file will
be a simple "find -mtime -exec" command to run after each sync.

Also, I've commited a patch from Grant Likely that add the option
"startdate" (resp. maxdate), but as far as I understand your goal, it might
not be exactly what you want.
