Hi,

archivemail 0.7.2 is the latest version, and fixes an incompatibility
issue with python 2.5, which broke Maildir handling. Here is the
change log for 0.7.2:

Version 0.7.2 - 9 November 2007

  * IMAP: fixed crash by working around python bug #1277098, which is
still pending
    in python << 2.5.

Version 0.7.1 - 7 November 2007

  * Fixed incompatibility with Python 2.5 which broke Maildir handling.
    Closes: #1670422
  * Username and password in IMAP URLs can now be double-quoted, so it should be
    no longer a problem if they contain delimiters like the '' character.
    Closes: #1640878
  * Invalid messages/files in Maildirs caused archivemail to silently stop
    processing mails and claim it's all done. Now skip these and go ahead.
    (Thanks Elan Ruusamäe for tracking this down.) Closes: #1783369.
    (The Debian package has a different fix for this problem since 0.6.1-4,
    closing Debian bugs #255944 and #305902.)
  * Fixed IMAP message flag conversion which was completely broken. (Thanks
    Christian Brabandt) Closes: Debian bug #434807
  * New option --copy: archive mail, but don't delete it from the mailbox.
    This is mainly useful for testing purposes, and complements --delete.
    Closes: #981865, #988803, #1764851, Debian bug #434798
  * If running as root, only switch the effective uid and gid back if we have
    actually switched them before. Closes: #1762907
  * The automatic seteuid feature of archivemail is insecure and thus
    deprecated; it will be removed from later versions.
  * Expand tilde in argument of long option --pwfile. (Thanks Christian
    Brabandt) Closes: Debian bug #434813
  * archivemail now accepts --days=0
  * Fixed crash if --warn-duplicate is used with IMAP (Thanks Christian
    Brabandt) Closes: Debian bug #434786 (the Debian package already has a fix)
  * When converting from other formats to mbox, archivemail used to preserve
    existing 'Status' and 'X-Status' mbox headers; these are now silently
    overwritten to ensure they have correct values.
  * IMAP: if selecting the mailbox fails, archivemail detects the server's
    mailbox hierarchy delimiter, replaces slashes in the mailbox name with the
    delimiter and tries again. Closes: #1826757, Debian bug #368112

Tested on i386. Only changes needed are version bump in Makefile and
changing the distinfo to reflect new sums (make makesum). Marking a
CC: to the maintainer. Thanks.
