Hello list,

I've been looking at Zoe to build a searchable email interface to my
archive of email messages.  Been looking over the Wiki and trying to
get my hands around what this product can and cannot (or should not?)
do.

I currently use qmail as my MTA on a Linux Slackware system.  I don't
plan on changing MTA's so I'm going to have to integrate Zoe with
qmail's Maildir format if I wish to use it.  I don't really want Zoe
to integrate with my email server though as described in the
documentation.  Here's kind of what I'm looking to do, please let me
know if I'm way off base.

1.) Run a script once a month that copies any mail from my IMAP
folders that are over one month old to an alternate location for Zoe
in mbox format.

2.) Run the Zoe import procedure on these messages.

3.) Upon successful import, remove the messages from my email account
since they are now indexed by Zoe.

Does that seem plausible?  I'm mainly trying to use Zoe to make my old
messages searchable which I could certainly do with other tools like
htdig, grepmail, etc. but I'm looking at Zoe because it has some nice
features and eventually I might work towards integrating with my MTA,
but not yet.

Thanks,

Josh

Josh
