I hate archiving (I hold "fresh" e-mails dated on 1999) :-P What I do is using as much as possible a tree structure (remember the 4 GiB limit is set for "each folder", so you can have many subfolders to distribute your e-mail messages and so avoing that limit). > I've been afraid to archive, because I didn't know where the old > messages go:) > NOTE, now I do know where they go: > http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Archived+messages Good catch! I didn' know it neither :-) > the 4GiB limit also goes for archived though, so.. what do you do? I'm not sure whether IMAP accounts/storage are also affected for this limitation (I guess yes) but in either case, use a logical mail structure. I like using "topics" and then "years" (or viceversa, years then topics); the more folders, the better, i.e.: inxox | |- 2010 | |-lists | |- debian-es | |- debian-es | |- debian-bugzilla | |-personal |- banking |- friends |- shopping |- ebay |- ...
