[kwlug-disc] How to Archiving Gmail Locally

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

Thanks Giles.

So, if getmail is using IMAP for retrieval, and copies individual messages
to the MailDir directory, then I move some files (i.e. messages) from cur
to another directory, say 2007/06.

Will getmail be confused by that?
