Can anyone recommend a program for archiving email?

E.g., scan a maildir for emails older than a certain date, and move them
to a different maildir?

Seems like it should be a common thing, but my searches have been
unsuccessful. I was hoping there would be a standard utility included in
package managers, but if not I guess I can write one myself...

Since the messages in a Maildir are just individual files, you can do it
with "find -mtime" -- just move any files older than a certain date to
the equivalent paths in the archive Maildir. Here's a wrapper script I
wrote to do it for some of my Maildirs many years ago:

http://offog.org/git/misccode/archive-maildir

(These days I'd probably see if I could use -execdir...)

You should try Mailstore and see if it suits your needs.

You have fdm. AFAIK the most powerful tool for dealing with mail.
In addition to getting mail from an POP/IMAP server, it can also get
mails from a maildir. It should also be capable of dealing with a
news spool.

http://ports.su/mail/fdm

fdm-1.9p0 – fetch, filter and deliver mail
Description

fdm is a simple, lightweight replacement for mail fetch, filter and
delivery programs such as fetchmail and procmail. It can fetch using
POP3 or IMAP (with SSL) or from stdin, and deliver to a pipe, file,
maildir, mbox or SMTP server, based on regexps.
