README for mbar - a mailbox archiver program

* Overview

Mbar scans the supplied source mailbox for messages that match a
certain condition.  The selected messages are moved to the backup
mailbox - a mailbox of the same base name as the source, but located
in the backup folder.   If the destination mailbox doesn't exist, it
is created with the necessary intermediate directories.

Conditions for selection are actually Sieve conditional expressions
as described in <http://mailutils.org/manual/html_chapter/Sieve-Language.html>.

A flexible template system is implemented.

For a detailed discussion, please see the accompanying man page
mbar(1).  An online copy is available at
<http://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/software/mbar>.

* Compiling

it.  The following make variables can be used
