Re: Rearranging folders
Hi, M The setting things up to archive automatically in future was M mentioned in my next paragraph, although not described clearly. See if M this attempt is clearer. Yes, I understood. M You don't need to do it in advance. M Once you decide Folder X needs archiving: Once I decide the folder needs archiving, there's no longer a need to archive messages with the method you describe since, at that point, it won't be accepting any other messages. All I need to do at that point is move the whole folder to my archive folder. The original no longer exists. Sometimes I can't do that right away for whatever reason so, over time, more than one such folder exists. This is where the problem comes in. TB only allows moving one at a time and those moving tools don't work well. It really should be part of the program but TB has always been lacking in basic tools and options so I don't expect much there. M Not basic, but it *is* there. At least twice. M As well as, the method I have outlined above, there is also M Jim's semi-automated method where the moving of messages is achieved M with a manually-activated filter to move all messages older than N M days to the archive folder specified in the filter. Yes, there are options to move folders but they are very primitive by today's standards (even those of five years ago). -- Jack Current version is 4.2.23 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

All I need to do at that point is move the whole folder to my archive folder. Right, I'm with you now. Archiving a folder that is finished with, rather than old content from an active folder. Sometimes I can't do that right away for whatever reason so, over time, more than one such folder exists. This is where the problem comes in. TB only allows moving one at a time and those moving tools don't work well. The ability to move more than one would be good. Moving folders around using the keyboard shortcuts is pretty clunky, but holding ALT and dragging one folder with the mouse works well enough - if you first ensure the beginning and end locations are both visible on the screen. (You need CTRL+ALT to drag a folder inside another that doesn't already have sub-folders.) If you have an idea for a better interface for this, you could always log it as a wish at https://www.ritlabs.com/bt. Just don't hold your breath!
