# splitmailbox

Simple tool to split your mailbox or maildir.

You can customize the directory, prefix, name and suffix of the output

mailboxes using the headers of the messages stored in your mailbox. Prefix,

name and suffix are expanded by `str.format` function.

## Path of output mailboxes

Prefix, name and suffix are expanded by `str.format` function. The keyword

arguments of the function are the header of the mail (see Python class

`email.message.Message`), with some extensions:

- `Date` header is a `datetime.datetime` object

## Examples

### Split messages by year

    splitmailbox --suffix '_{Date:%Y}' mail/mbox

Will create the mailboxes `mail/mbox_2000`, `mail/mbox_2001`, ...

## Limitations

- Directory are not created at runtime (e.g. `--prefix '{Date:%Y}/{Date:%m}'`)
