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). This way, you don't need to keep them on your computer's harddisk. -- Cheers, Thomas.
