I keep my email on a CentOS server, in ~/Maildir/ .
I run dovecot/IMAP on the server,

I want to off-load some email folders containing old email,
eg In-05, Out-05, etc, perhaps to a directory ~/Archive/ .
a) What is the best way to do this?
Would simply mv-ing ~/Maildir/.In-05 to ~/Archive/ confuse dovecot?
b) If I then want to read the old email in ~/Archive/
how can I do this with KMail?
Any suggestions or advice gratefully received.
I did the same. In my case since I was unsure what to do I used kmail to
transfer all the mail to the dovecot server I created, using an imap
interface. Inefficient? No doubt, but it worked and I did not care anymore
about it... :-)
