No, you don't.

Sadly there is no feature like that yet! and if you use outlook the auto-archive feature doesn't move all the emails properly, what we end up doing is create PST files and move all the old email into this PST archives manually, meaning scroll down select all the old emails and drag them to the PST this is done per year.
Time consuming task I don't really like it but that's our only solution for archiving old emails and not kill the server storage.

What would be the result of enabling email archiving ?
Wouldn't this perform the task object of this thread ?

No, all it does it does is place a copy of all incoming / outgoing messages into a special "archive" folder separated by month or week. The archive is not accessible by regular users.

Anyone can help me to generate a script (Linux platform) to create a folder (ex: Old_Emails) in each mailbox and move all items (of each mailbox) which created date is older than a specified date to this folder?

So, there are a couple things to consider here. Officially, it is a bad idea to use a script to manipulate the mail store outside of the kerio server's knowledge. You must be careful about file locking, folder indexes, message status flags, etc. I could be that there is a Linux utility script that you could deploy that uses IMAP to move the messages around. That would require knowing all the user's passwords.

But it sounds like you are not purging messages, just moving them to a different folder. Do you have a problem you are trying to solve here (such as performance), or just applying a sense of tidiness?

Just FYI this is a third party solution that works very well. https://www.mailstore.com/

With Mailstore you choose how often you run an archive (or automate the process) and allow the user IMAP access to their archived email. We have found that in a number of instances the IMAP connection to Mailstore performs better than the Kerio connection but that'll come down to your server specs.


I too would have preferred something built into Kerio but we've used a virtualised instance of Mailstore at a number our clients and it works very well.

p.s I am not affiliated in anyway with Mailstore.

Why is that not relevant?

Kerio Connect can't do what you want, but third party solutions can.
