Just #2 and #3; I don't need to do #1 because my mail folders basically group messages from logical groups of senders, and (at least for my personal mail) there's never any crossover. It's a little more complicated for work mail, as there is some crossover... But what I do in that case is use filters to make sure all relevant folders get a copy. I admit that's wasteful and annoying, but in the overwhelming majority of cases the messages are small enough that I don't really care about the extra copies. $ df -h /home Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/ubuntu-home 875G 198G 632G 24% /home Got plenty of room for more. :) > Further, what if you want all messages from Billy and those messages > are spread across different folders. So, this basically never happens. It's all about how you manage your mail folders. -- Derek D.
