Archiving (=3D moving old messages to another folder) is very similar to=20
Expiring (=3D deletion of old messages). Actually, both functions are=20
exactly the same if one interprets deletion as moving to /dev/null.

You should have a look at the code that handles the expiration, make it=20
a bit more generic so that it can be used for both, expiration and=20
archiving.

I don't think that it would be much work. But please note that this new=20
feature won't make it into KDE 3.2 because no new features apart from=20
the already planned new features are allowed for KDE 3.2. This=20
basically means that you don't have to rush anything. Just take your=20
time.

Ingo
