No, parking is not the solution for what Paul (and others like me) is looking for. Parking is the solution if I want to keep the thread for ever (or a very long time), but then it takes manually un-parking the thread. What we would be looking for, as I had it in Virtual Access, is that if I set a folder to keep messages for 30 days, no thread will be deleted if the it has at least one message that is less than 30 days old. A quite convenient feature when you are subscribed to many mailing lists (or newsgroups) like I am. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
