Hi,
Thank you your answer. I just did not have the time to reply earlier.

That's the way to go. You have to indeed set this on a per-folder basis, but once you've done it, you're through. If you are looking for a global setting, this doesn't exist AFAIK.
Ok, thanks though. This would really take a lot of time. An if I add some more folders, I have to tweak its settings again. But you are right. If I have set it once for a folder, I won't have to do it again.
Then, under Account / Properties / Mail Management / Deletion, you can set it so that the messages are sent to an archive folder instead of Trash.
That's good, I'll try it.

You can do that with the archive folders that you create. Others use an external program call Mailbag, which can read TB message bases, but I've never used it.
I just had a look at Mailbag. It can add your TB mailboxes one by one. Then I have the option to export it somewhere else. The problem is, that it cannot read the generated TB backup files (*.tbk), which would be the feature I am looking for.
But great information!
Thank you, Kariem
