Used to be that TB was a bit slow (=5 seconds) to open folders with more than ~9000 messages, but this hasn't been the case in a while (despite me keeping the message base on spinning rust, not SSD). As for why I keep all of it? Because it's less work than not keeping it. -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< https://eternallybored.org/ > An unbreakable toy is useful for breaking other toys. -- Van Roy's Law Current version is 9.1.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

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
