Hello Lex, > Is there a way i can do this or something very similar in the bat! ?
Similar and from my POV even better and easier. I got the idea from someone else (don't remember who), but this is what I do: - I have a password protected account (will explain later why it is password protected) that I call 'Archive'. - This Archive account duplicates the folder tree structure of my main account. Actually, it just duplicates the folder I do want to archive. - In the Properties/General of each of the folders of my main account that I want to archive, I tick the option 'Keep messages in the vase for (days)' and enter the NN number of days. - In Properties/Deletion, I tick the 'Use folder specific deletion settings' option. - Then, for 'Alternative deletion' I select 'Move to the specified folder' and, of course, I browse to select the corresponding folder in the 'Archive account'. - And also tick the box for 'Use alternative deletion for purging this folder'. And that is it. As I have said, I do this in each of the folder I do want to archive. Now, when every night I run ?folder Maintenance with the Purge and Compress option, the 'old messages' in each folder are automagically moved to the corresponding folder in the Archive account. What's the benefit of doing this? Well, as I said at the beginning, the Archive account is password protected. This way, when you start TB, it will not open any password protected account and 'waste time' in opening each of it folders. Only when I need to find an archived message is when I select my Archive account, enter the password and open it. One other thing I do to easily remember which folders I have set up for 'automatic archiving' is to assign these folders to an 'Archive Colour Groups' (blue in my case). This way, I can easily see in my folder tree which folder do have an corresponding archive one. I'm really happy with this set-up. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
