Well, if you want it to be accessible via IMAP it needs more than that.
You will have to follow the maildir format for dovecot. In my case, I
have: ~/Maildir.Archive. I think with dovecot IMAP sub-folder is
represented as dot. So if you want something like this to show in Kmail:
Archive
In-02 (this contains the mails)
Then I think you should have something like this:
~/Maildir.Archive.In-02/{cur, new, tmp}
Now you can put all the mail (one file for each mail under:
~/Maildir.Archive.In-02/cur/
Thanks for the advice, which I shall follow.
I must say, it seems rather complicated for what must be
a fairly common requirement - to archive old mail.
