Hello all,

Well like most of you I have tens of thousands of mails just sitting around.  I 
don't want to get rid of them, however as I'm using iMap I know that they can 
sometimes cause a heavy load when large folders need to be downloaded or synced.

The way I've done this till now is to create a smart mailbox and move 
everything that's older than 18 months in there.  Then once a month I simply 
archive this folder.

However, this has one drawback in that if I want to re-import (does this word 
actually exist?) messages back into the original place they came from it won't 
work.  I could, of course, simply copy folders from point a to point b on 
either my server or local machine and then delete old/unwanted mails but 
frankly that's too much like effort.  So my question is do others have 
different strategies for doing this?

Best,

Dónal
