    Default mbox mail archiving utilities

    I've turned up 3 mail archive utilities:

    archivemail, archmbox, and chewmail

    Any good/bad/otherwise experiences with any or all of them?
    Any other utilities that are better? What do you recommend?

    Thanks.

    Well I've only used archivemail in the past, but found it to do
    everything I needed. It supports IMAP, Maildir and MH mailboxes, as
    well as standard MBOX. I'd recommend it.

    Thanks for the recommendation. It was probably the first one I would
    try.
