 Yes. In the folder's Properties, check the box and enter a value for Keep 
 messages in
 base for. Then, on the Deletion tab, check the Use folder-specific
 deletion settings. Under Alternative Deletion, select Move to the
 specified folder and configure as you see fit. Also, select Use
 alternative deletion for for purging this folder. On the main tab,
 you may also want to check Remove old messages (on exit).

This is a great suggestion to automate what I was doing with normal
filters and manual transfers before but it's not exactly what I meant.
In OE I actually removed the relevant .dbx folders and stored them
separately on my hard drive. The idea was to keep the email program
smaller and hopefully less prone to corruption. I generally do not
have to refer to emails older than 6 months (but may have to store
them for legal reasons). Could I do the same, ie moving a folder from
documents  settings / application data/ The Bat/ Folder X to another
spot on my harddrive without affecting the working of TB? Could I if
necessary put it back at a later stage? Is any of this necessary or
are you guys all happy with quite a number of big folders within TB.

Thanks Roelof re the max size 2GB, now I know when to start making
arrangements for splitting or moving folders .

TL Are there any limitations as to how many emails or what files size
TL (incl. attachments) can or should be stored in these secondary folders
TL without again potentially creating hazards? 

RO IIRC There is this file limit of 2 GB for the messages.tbb

What happens if you unwittingly reach and then exceed that limit?
What symptoms would you see?
