BP Would A Large Unix file be easier to search than the individual msgs? MDP ... If you have a plain text editor with good search capabilities, MDP then yes.

Re[2]: Archiving old mail messages
C I created another account solely for archiving purposes. Since I C can filter based on message age, I can archive messages by using read C message filters to move messages to the archive account folders.I run C them manually at interval periods. I created two sub-folders for Inbox and Sent and then I also use read message filters like Curtis. Is there any advantage to use a separate account instead of a separate folder in the same account? I speak in terms of velocity reading the recent mail and opening/closing TB. Also in terms of space wasted. -- .anjo -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
Re[2]: Archiving old mail messages + suggestion
I'm using The Bat! Version 1.44 Serial Number EC7D7F61 under Windows 98 4.10 Build 1998 . MDP to both. Give the "main" folder a size or time limit to keep the size MDP down. This makes it easy to browse "current" mail yet still have an MDP easily accessible archive. One good sugestion is to support old messages base compression: - that works like an account but does not load at opening - the message base is high compressed to use the minimum space - option to run a read mail filter time to time automatically - just when we select a folder for searching, and just that folder, is loaded -- .anjo -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
