<div>Thanks very much for your advice. If this task could handled in the protocol level. That should be great.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here are what i wanna do:</div>
<div>Some mail clients has the feature to archive the messages by date. For instance, they could create a mail folder named by the month such as 2009-08 each month.</div>
<div>I wanna do this operation on the server side. So i have to created the folder then find all the message in this month then move all of them to the new folder.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But i am not sure the protocol operations if i don't know the password of every account. If i wanna do this via Perl, do you have some good idea?</div>

<div>Regards,</div>
