I do not know whether it is because I am getting old or because I am short of grey matter (Betz cell concentration) but when ever I try to use the help files I do not come up with the answer. :-( I am about to transfer my mail onto a NEW powerbook G4 :-) so i thought I would 'archive', 'compress', 'store', 'retire' my current mailbox. Try feeding that into help and you get F... A.. Help. I am aware that all I need to do is ask the ever helpful gurus on the net and the answer will be forth coming in the click of a mouse button. But seriously folks why does Mail help point me in the right direction?

BTW how do I archive old mail?
