awm is a simple mail archiver for MailDir style mail folders. It moves mails older than the specified time to folder.yyyy.mm folders where yyyy.mm is the date when the mail was received (last Received header) or sent (Date header) if no Received header can be found.

It archives the Maildir folder base as well as all subfolders (Maildirs in the same directory as base that name starts with a period (.)). If you list one of more folders it will only archive them.
