IMAP still lets you store messages on your hard drive. Just create some local folders and drag the messages you want to a local folder. Now they are on your hard drive and not on the email server. > Instead of erasing all my old messages to stay underneath the quota, I want > to store them by sending the old messages to gmail for storage. As I said earlier, you can set up a message filter (Tools, Message Filters) for items of high priority only and have the filter forward the messages to your gmail address. Then, select a bunch of messages, mark them as high priority, then go into Tools -> Message Filters and run the filter now. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
