Out of curiosity, i sit possible to run mhonarc on a Mac OS X server?

It should be, since OS X provides a unix-based operating
environment.

mhonarc does have code to deal with older MacOS environments,
but I do not recall if anyone has confirmed mhonarc usage under
OS X.  I do not own any Mac's so I am unable to confirm.

Yes, mHonarc does run on the mac, as I've installed it and used it to manually 
archive large mail folders for other use.

There's a GUI front-end plus the executable available here:

<http://liepins.org/en/mac/macmhonarc/>

This is entirely self-contained, so no other downloads need to be done.

You can also install MHonarc as a standard command-line tool, since OS X 
supports Perl just fine. There MAY be some perl modules that would need 
installing from CPAN, I cannot remember what ones I needed to install when I 
tried that version.
