Can one archive using other variables, like _TO_ or something like that?

If you are archiving to a directory, you could set Archive Mail =
/var/archive/_DATE_ You will need to create the /var/archive directory
before you start, obviously. You will end up archiving to
/var/archive/20050116 (i.e. the 16th day of January 2005, which is my
birthday (hint :-)

If you are archiving to an mbox mailbox file for easy browsing with
Thunderbird or your IMAP server or whatever, you could create tomorrow's
mbox file some time during the day (with a little cron job) and then set
Archive Mail = /var/archive/MailArchive._DATE_.mbox
and it will archive to the file /var/archive/MailArchive.20050116.mbox
on the 16th January 2005.

It's as simple as that. It just replaces _DATE_ with the current date in a
form where sorting alphabetically (which is what ls does by default) gives
you the files in order of date.
