Is that a manually activated or an automatic filter? What is the rule? (Age is greater than X days?) Is it different filter for each folder you archive, or is there some way of expressing the destination folder so that you can use the same filter for multiple folders? > from the > currently selected folder to the similarly named one in > the archive account.

Jack said he found the controls for moving folders around to be very cumbersome, and I have sometimes found it easier to move the contents around rather than the folder itself. Of course, if the folder has lots of messages they take a while to move.
