Re: Move messages older than 30 days
Hallo tb,

You've got several options:
1 Make all these filters inactive and manual.
Before re-filtering select the right filter and make it active
Re-filter with manual only
Reset the used filter to inactive.
2 It's an easy action you want to perform.
Set the folder to 'no threading' and sort on creation date
Select all messages older then 30 days
Move them with Ctrl-V
3 Give each of your filters it's own shortcut ('Options' tab)
Pick your choice, this all TB can do for you. (And that I can think
of, but then I should be in bed after working all night.)

I was just hoping for something better.
Is a plugin API planned? A simple embedded scripting language?
I'd be all over many of my problems if I could write a script
or plugin to address them.

I can only commend the habit of taking a backup before embarking on a newfangled 'purge' adventure. Other than that, I can only guess that your messages have bit the big one. :-( -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v2.01.26 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 ' pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.01.3 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

If you haven't compressed the original folder, they should still be in it, albeit invisible. Try Folder / Browse Deleted Messages to see them. It looks like the new feature works only if the messages are automatically purged. Can this be confirmed, and if so, is that a bug or as desired? -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat!

Move messages older than 30 days
I know you can do this, but my situation is problematic. I have 4 mailing lists, I want to filter them manually from time to time so that mail older than 30 days is moved to a subfolder called 'old'. I tried this and forgot that every filter I created for each subfolder actually runs on every subfolder, making me wonder what the 'Source Folder' is for. It's not documented of course. But anyway, the result is the messages older than 30 days go into the 'old' folder of the first filter. How do I create a filter, or one per mailing list which will move the messages into a subfolder called old if they are older than 30 days without conflicting with each other. Is this even possible short of coming up with manual execution shortcut keys for each one? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 2.01.3 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
