💖 CLAWS-MAIL-ARCHIVER-PLUGIN(7) 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're reading the manual page for claws-mail-archiver-plugin — part of the Claws Mail fam 💌 — and honestly? it's giving "short but iconic". let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

claws-mail-archiver-plugin — archive messages to compressed files 🗜️

periodt. that's the whole vibe. your mail, but zipped up and cute.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This manual page documents briefly the claws-mail-archiver-plugin package. ngl it's a quick lil overview, not the whole saga 💅

This manual page was written for the Debian™ distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. yeah. no cap. so Debian said "fine, i'll do it myself" 😭

claws-mail-archiver-plugin is a plugin (loadable module) for the Claws Mail mailer. so it's not a whole app, it's more like an accessory that snaps onto your main character mailer 🫶

This plugin uses libarchive to extend Claws Mail features with archiving capabilities. Several archive formats are available, with or without compression. that's the ✨ magic ✨ — several formats, and you can have them compressed or not, your call 💖

🦋 USAGE 🦋

Before using a plugin you must instruct Claws Mail to load it on startup. like, it's not gonna just show up uninvited. you have to send the invite 💌

For this you must:

  1. go "Configuration" menu on main window toolbar
  2. open "Plugins..." dialog
  3. click on the "Load plugin..." button
  4. select the plugin file, named archive.so
  5. press the "Open" button

and that's it. five steps and you're so back 🔥

ok real talk bestie, remember step 4: the file is literally called archive.so. don't go scrolling for something else 🍓
