Is there a way to synchronize the most recent 30 days of mail between

server?
Assuming you're meaning using SeaMonkey, I'm not sure what your issue is.
Mine is set so that every computer I use has the same IMAP accounts and
all of them show all messages, archives, folders, etc. going back to the
beginning of time. I would think the only limitation would be your
email provider and their limits on storage. Mine is Gigabytes so I've
yet to run into an issue.
If you're having trouble please tell us how your IMAP account(s) are
configured.
Yes I am using SeaMonkey. My email provider limits each account to 2 GB
and one of my accounts is at 1.74GB, lots of PDF's attached to the emails.
I want to preserve the mails and attachments and locally is better for me.
Synchronization is great because the computers I use occasionally (once
a week) match my main computer. But, I would like to remove older
messages (30 days) from the server without deleting them from all my
computers also. I have found that deleting from the server deletes from
the local computers also. I am afraid to change any of my settings
because I do not want to inadvertently delete my older local messages.
Hopefully any changes will not delete any older messages.
My current synchronization settings are:
Keep messages for this account on this computer
Synchronize all messages locally regardless of age
Don't delete any messages
Always keep flagged messages
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe you could manually move older messages to your
"Local Folders" hierarchy?
Or you could create a folder in your IMAP account, and uncheck
the "synchronize" bit to make it only local (but you run the
risk of one day checking it by accident).
Regards.
I prefer using pop3 for a local storage ....
But the problem with pop3 is that 2 differents computers cannot be
"synchronized" for the mail client.
