Thanks What I do is I "archive" old messages to other folders. For example, I name a subfolder "2016" and then move all messages from that year into that subfolder. This keep each folder with a manageable size. (Make sure you compact the folders in which the messages were stored previously.) If you want to store those messages somewhere else, you create a dummy account called "Archive". Under Account / Properties / Files & Directories, you to an external drive or a drive in the cloud (nobody uses tape or DVD any more).

Splitting message base by date to store old messages?
27 April 2019 I am happily running a legacy version of TB! but my message base is now huge. I was wondering if it is possible to somehow split the message base based on date so I keep say the last two year's messages in TB!' directory structure, and store older stuff elsewhere, perhaps on tape or DVD?
