FilesByWeek is a small script that counts the number of files in a folder that were created (or last modified) in X week of the year. It’s designed for use with Linux/Postfix Maildirs (and thus excludes the standard .Sent folder and any Dovecot/Courier IMAP files from the find query), but should work just fine on any kind of directory.

#!/bin/bash typeset -i YEAR WEEK COUNT WEEK=$1 # Comment out the following line if the year starts on a Monday WEEK=$((WEEK-1)) # Use current system year by default. This can be changed to e.g.: YEAR=2008 YEAR=`date +%Y` TGTDIR=$2 COUNT=0 \find ${TGTDIR} \ -type d \( -name "*.sent" -o -name "*.Sent" -o -name "courierimapkeywords" -o -name "courierimaphieracl" \) -prune -o \ -type f \( ! -name "subscriptions" ! -name "courierimapsubscribed" ! -name "dovecot.index.log*" ! -name "dovecot.index" ! -name "maildirfolder" ! -name "dovecot-keywords" ! -name "dovecot.index.cache" ! -name "courierimapacl" ! -name "courierimapuiddb" ! -name "dovecot-uidlist" \) \ -print | { while read FILENAME; do if [[ `\date +%Y-%W -r "${FILENAME}"` == ${YEAR}-${WEEK} ]]; then # Uncomment to show the names of matching files # echo ${FILENAME} let COUNT++ fi done echo Week $1 -- ${TGTDIR}: ${COUNT} } exit 0

Thanks for this! We need to do weekly mail stats for some of our IMAP accounts and I hadn’t thought of doing it this way. A few modifications to this and I think we’re set! :-)
