Abbility do download whole account as an archive

[interduo]

When worker end up working in company there is a need to archive his whole account (messages). The need is required from that - some projects requires to archive 5 years max documentations.

Now the manual archiving is monkey work (downloading all mails by mail client all mails folder by folder).

I suggest to add an option to iredadmin: "Download account messages as an archive". The end effect should be zipped user maildir.

This is not ideal IMO.

• The mailbox might be few GB large, it's not good to let iRedAdmin-Pro do this job.
• iRedAdmin-Pro is running as user/group iredadmin:iredadmin, it doesn't have privilege to access mailbox.
• We have cron job to run iRedAdmin-Pro-x.y.z/tools/delete_mailboxes.py to remove user's mailbox on schedule, but not archive it.

I think there're 2 options available:

1. Copy the whole mailbox (manually) to another directory as archive / backup.
2. Run an email archiving software. Since each message was archived, there's nothing you need to do after removed the account.

btw, we're busy developing an email archiving software, it's about 60-70% done, mostly working on web UI now.
