Imapsync tips about archiving messages.

=======================================================================
Q. How to move emails from one IMAP folder to another either on the
same IMAP server or a different one?
For example, all messages older than 1 year, move from INBOX to Archive.
R1. Solution:
imapsync ... --minage 365 --folder Inbox --f1f2 INBOX=Archive --delete --noexpungeaftereach
Add option --noexpungeaftereach if speed is a concern.
Add option --delete if you want to move messages, instead of just copy/sync them.
