Holy cow, I’m seriously impressed! I’ve never, not even remotely, thought of 
using my mail client (or an imap box for the matter) as a persistent document 
storage.

No matter which mail client or mail box, I’m moving *out* messages older than 
12 months, either to the folder of the project they are related to, or 
otherwise to my generic mail archive on disk.

I rarely have the need to reply to a mail older than 1 year, and when it really 
happens I can easily retrieve that mail on disk. What is the advantage of 
storing tens of thousands of years-old mails in the database of the email 
client, or in an imap box?
