[ale] archiving IMAP Maildir folders

[Andrew Newton]

You shouldn't have any problems doing this.  I wrote a bash script using 
find to archive my mail.  It works great with Maildir and Courier.

There's also a python project that does the same:
http://archivemail.sourceforge.net/
I haven't used it, but somebody on the Courier uses list mentioned it, 
so I assume it works.
