Hello all,
In folder properties one can set for how long to keep messages. TB's
help says:

Hello Marck,
I have evidence of a message with a creation date in 1998 that
doesn't yet fit the 30 day retention criteria. So TB is clearly
using received date for purging information.
Thanks for the confirmation :)

Hello Peter,
Yes, indeed. It will mark the messages out of range as deleted, and
with the next Purge and compress they will be actually deleted.
PR It strikes me this could be somewhat inconvenient.
Why is that?
My previous MUA had that capability. While there was at least one
message in a
Hello Thomas,
I have set the expiration to 180 days. Haven't found a mailing-list
thread that ran longer than that... ;-)
I set most my mailing list to just 15 or 30 days at the most. My message
base would be huge if I set these to 180 days. As I say in my reply to

Hello Stefan,
Then you should park the threads you are interested in. This way,
messages won't get deleted by purging.
No, parking is not the solution for what Paul (and others like me) is
looking for. Parking is the solution if I want to keep the thread for
ever (or a very long time), but
If this setting is exceeded, will TB split an existing thread,
removing those that exceed it and keeping those that do not?
Nothing in the Help file again.

TBH, I suppose mainly because my previous e-mail client did not split
threads in this way; it wouldn't delete until the last message passed
the sell-by date.
If I want to save a thread, I copy it to my archive
folder, and let the mailing list continue its

Better, IMO. Then I could copy or delete the entire thread manually.

Hi,
I tried to set a few of my folders to only keep messages for
a couple of days (folder -Properties -General), but the
messages don't get automatically deleted when they should
be.
Also under General Folder Properties I selected to remove
old messages and compress on exit.
Is there anything

Hi TBUDL,
I have a question:
When I check Fodler/Properties/"Keep messages in the base for 60 days",
what happens after 60 days if I *don't* check "upon exit - remove old
messages".
Where do the old messages go if they are not being removed? - Just
curious. ;-)
