Hi,
I'd like to archive all email messages from 2008, 2009, then save them
off-line. I noticed a setting in
Mail & Newsgroups account settings : <account name> : Copies and Folders
Message Archives
This sounds like it would solve the first part, but I don't know how to
start the archive process?
Assuming I can get an "Archives" folder inside "Local Folders",
containing yearly archives, the next part is how can I save that folder
outside of SeaMonkey, and how can I restore it if needed?
I seem to remember this was easy in Netscape 3.x. They also have it in
Outlook.
Gerry, I've never noticed/used the setting you have pointed to, but I
don't think it will do what you want!! ... but it might!!
When I want to archive my mail, I set up several folders, in SeaMonkey
Mail Account, at the same level as the Inbox, e.g. I have folders for
2013_Family, 2013_Jokes, 2013_Moz_SM, etc., and I then drag e-mails
(both Sent & received) into the appropriate folders, then at the end of
each year, I move these folders to the "Local Folders" Account, but if
you wanted you could close SM and move these folders to some other
location on your HD, or, burn the folders (or your entire e-mail
account) to CD/DVD's or store them elsewhere off-line.
