Hi TBUDL,

Here's a quick question and it's probably bad form that I pose it now
because I'm just off home for the day but hopefully you'll all be
generous and forgive me...

My problem...
-------------

I wish not to lose my old 'sent' messages (stored by default in
'Sent') but because I currently have just over 1600 messages in this
folder I find it slow to access. Since I commonly only refer to recent
messages my idea was to set up some kind of filter or expiry that
would be applied to the 'Sent' folder that would move all messages
older than a given age (say 1 month..) to another folder purposefully
created to store an archive of the 'Sent' mail folder. This would have
the effect that my 'Sent' folder was always reasonably small and
therefore quick to access but I would still have my permanent record
of each message sent.

However, I could not see a route to doing this through either the Sorting
Office Filters or the properties tab of the 'Sent' folder. Also, I
drew a blank on the FAQ and (as far as I could see) previous threads
of this discussion list.

If anyone has any applicable ideas I'd love to hear them... sorry I
can't stick around longer now but it's gone 22.20 here and I really
need a break (and food!) before the next day of 'sweat and tears'.

Cheers,

Mark
