Slimming Down the database / Archiving
Hello Everyone, my TB has grown over the years and the backup files are now more than gb in size. I would like to tidy up a bit without messing up everything. My idea is to create new Archive folders and then moving older emails into these archive folders. Can I then remove these completely to a different harddrive/backup storage in case I ever need them again? Currently my mail directory is at on my OS drive at %APPDATA%\The Bat!\ -- Best regards, Tom using TheBat! 8.8.9 on Win 10 , 64bit Current version is 9.1.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

JS> Make a backup first (in case you decide to return to older version), but other than that, the new version should import the old messages and filters automatically. As my sig hopefully shows I got v10.0.10 working. The only issue is it saw duplicates (which really existed) in my address book, but the Bat! splash screen hid the overwrite confirmation box and I had to keep using Task Manager to get rid of the main splash screen to enable each confirmation. I deleted all the duplicates in the end, and it has calmed down now :) Only disappointment so far is that in my preferred threaded view mode the interconnecting lines between messages have gone and are replaced by arrows and unmarked indents. I do not suppose there's a way of getting the thread lines back is there? I have the message bases on my D: drive at D:\TB_Mail, and the basic TB! files at C:\TheBat I installed V10 in the same C:\TheBat directory as the old one, can I, once happy with V10, just delete the older files in there?
