Comment 21 for bug 197290

Hello,
I've got the same problem.
I've installed archivemail and done what "nocturrne" suggests, but it sent me the following message:

chalo@gonzalo:~$ archivemail -d500 /home/chalo/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/archivemail", line 1611, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/archivemail", line 708, in main
    archive(mailbox_path)
  File "/usr/bin/archivemail", line 1156, in archive
    _archive_mbox(mailbox_name, final_archive_name)
  File "/usr/bin/archivemail", line 1227, in _archive_mbox
    retain.write(msg)
  File "/usr/bin/archivemail", line 388, in write
    self.mbox_file.write(body)
IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device
Exception exceptions.IOError: (28, 'No space left on device') in <bound method GzipFile.__del__ of <gzip open file '/tmp/tmp1VjWekarchivemail/tmpvt3cF-archive.gz', mode 'ab' at 0x82c3380 0x82cdcac>> ignored

So, I've got no enough space on my hard disk. It seems that archivemail creates a copy of the original file and that's why it takes too much space for me.
I also tried importing my Inbox from Kmail, but I had the same problem: space left in my hard disk is not enough as it creates a copy of every file from Evolution.

Any other solution while I try to liberate space from my hard disk?
thanks
