Archiving Mail
For years, I've archived mail by placing mail in common folders that I simply named as Archive folders. I now have well over 700,000 emails archived most of which I never need to look at but I don't want to totally get rid of. What are my options for archiving outside of TB, but where I could easily look at the emails? -- Best regards, Kitty Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

An addition to Urban's proposal: you can even have your archive within TB! without the need to load the extra 700,000 mails every time TB! starts: create a new account for your archive and password-protect it. Then the mails will only be loaded when you open that account. -- Cheers Peter Bore, n.: A person who talks when you wish him to listen.

OK - I've answered my own question:
I have a common filter set up that is manually asctivated (ALT-Z) to save
the highlighted email as an EML type file in a directory outside TB.
I then delete ht email from TB.
The filter is:

E Can you move that archive away from TB! and use E Mailbag to open it, say, on an external hard E drive? Yes. Thanks, I will most likely buy Mailbag. I am awaiting delivery of a laptop with Vista, will upgrade to current TB! on the laptop. I am using an older version of TB! on my PC. I am making an effort to be ready for the unknown when I start moving data and moving the old very large (around 2GB) accumulation of mail to the active mail program is not appealing. But I still would like to be able to easily access that old mail. -- Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
