Check this out. Have not tried it myself, though:
http://archivemail.sourceforge.net/
You might first use a search folder / filter to distribute mails to a
special maildir and/or mbox account.
Also, keep in mind that evolution uses sqlite databases (named
folders.db, I think) to keep basic information about mails. So, you
might consider saving these database files as well if you need to
quickly do a search for specific mails at a later time!
Also, you might look at:
http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/definition/e-mail-archiving
or do a google search for "mail archive linux"
Hope this helps,
Thanks Thomas...that is helpful.
James
