Hi Philip,

Even more good news. I've just realized that I don't need to move the archive folders "off line". I can leave them right where they are!

My original problem was inefficient incremental backup; every time I received a new email or wrote a new email, I had to back up the WHOLE 'inbox' and 'sent items' folders, but with this new archive facility...

My SM profile is already mapped into my data partition (which gets backed up). The folders such as .\2008, .\2009 won't change very often, so my backup will just ignore them after the first backup. This should give me extremely fast backups.

Don't forget to "compact folders" after archiving, so you get the free space back...

I think that means it DID work, view all your mail/news accounts by
going to "Edit : Mail and Newsgroups Accounts settings", then look at
"Copies and folders" for account, you can view the archive settings for
each.

Thank you, Gerry : a correct analysis !
