What would be a highly useful feature to me would be to have a function where you command TB to make a new database mimicking the current ones structure, but with all folders showing an Archive and pre date identifier. So one would select an account, select a cut off month and year and tell it to archive, the result being a separate database created on a destination medium of user choice, containing only messages created or received pre whatever month and year. The database remaining within TB would then only contain messages created or received after the cut off date desired. -- Chris Wilson "Using The Bat! v10.0.10 on Windows 7 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1" -- ________________________________________________ Current version is 9.1.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
